UK Twitter employees in legal threat over redundancies

The letter says the employees represent roughly a quarter of those in the UK affected by cuts Twitter announced in November., said the Prospect union had also written to the platform on Monday raising similar concerns and urging a halt to the redundancy process.A central concern is an alleged failure to follow UK rules, which require a consultation period of 45 days if 100 or more jobs are to be cut.

This, the letter alleges, was demonstrated by its introducing the consultation process after the "abrupt removal from its premises and systems" of affected staff.
