This is already covered by promissory estoppel[0]. Anyone affected by this, who can show that they quit an existing job or turned down a different offer, should have access to civil remedies - Flexport would be responsible for making them whole for any damages they suffered as a result of relying on Flexport's promise of employment.
I'm not a lawyer. There may be some caveats for these particular people. But it is a well-recognized remedy for this type of thing[1].
