? These protections have been, well, protecting employees from companies much larger and much more litigious than Twitter. A lot of it has been made around troubles with car manufacturers and other industries, and involves unions (something the US doesn't seem to understand is a necessary thing). There's been larger layoffs that have all respected the law, because judges do not fuck around with this. It's one thing to fire one employee and bet that he will not have the time or money to fight for two months of back pay. It's a whole other to fire more than 50 people (which in most of europe is the trigger for mass layoffs) and not have even the state have a look at it.
