Washington: Several sacked Twitter employees in the US have initiated a class action lawsuit against the company following the expected firing of more than 3,500 people-half the company's workforce - by the new owner Elon Musk. The suit, filed in US district court in San Francisco on Thursday even before the anticipated pink slips, alleges that Twitter is engaged in conducting mass layoffs without providing the required 60-day notice under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act. Two of the plaintiffs have already been fired, and three others have been locked out of their Twitter accounts and the Twitter office which they interpret to mean they will lose their jobs, according to the lawsuit cited by the media in California, where most of the layoffs are taking place.
