Nine former Twitter employees filed a motion Friday to compel and for preliminary injunction in U.S. District Court for Northern California in Oakland on behalf of the “thousands” of former employees with whom Twitter and X “have refused to proceed with arbitration,” said their memorandum of points and authorities (docket 4:23-cv-03301) in support of their motion.
U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar for Northern California in San Francisco granted the request of X and nine of its former employees to lift the stay in their arbitration dispute that was imposed Sept. 21 while they pursued mediation (see 2401040033), said Tigar’s signed order Thursday (docket 4:23-cv-03301). With the Dec. 1 mediation having failed to resolve the dispute, the judge also adopted the parties’ proposed briefing schedule, said the order. The employees’ motion to compel arbitration and for preliminary injunction was due Friday, and X’s response in opposition is due Feb. 2, both as the parties requested, it said. Tigar also scheduled a March 14 hearing on the motion to compel and for an injunction, said the order. The parties had asked for the hearing to be set for Feb. 20. The former employees contend that X refuses to engage them in arbitration, despite having compelled those employees in previous lawsuits to arbitrate their claims (see 2307060033).
