First, I'm curious to know if, when counting employees, the WARN Act includes employees located outside of the United States, as I know that non-US Twitter employees are also included in this. I'm guessing yes, since California Labor Code 1400 (a) says…
> “Covered establishment” means any industrial or commercial facility or part thereof that employs, or has employed within the preceding 12 months, 75 or more persons.
Next, it's worth noting…
> Liss-Riordan sued Tesla Inc. over similar claims in June when the electric-car maker headed by Musk laid off about 10% of its workforce.
>
> Tesla won a ruling from a federal judge in Austin forcing the workers in that case to pursue their claims in closed-door arbitration instead of in open court.
I don't know if California's implementation of WARN would cause things to be different. Reading Labor Code sections 1400-1408, I couldn't tell one way or the other.
