laid off

In interviews, current and laid-off members of the conduct management department said clashes with management arose after they announced in early September their intent to hold a vote on whether the 48 members of the department would join the union.

Laid-off workers sued the company over allegations Musk refused to pay severance, violated labor laws and targeted older workers, women and people with disabilities in the job cuts.

On Wednesday, the union representing the workers announced it had reached a tentative deal that requires the hotel to take over operations of a cafe, a bar and staff kitchen from a contractor and rehire some of the laid-off employees.

It was not clear exactly how many laid-off food and beverage workers would be hired back.

From the vantage point of laid-off workers, the manipulation of statistics by their employers doesn’t ease the pain of losing their jobs.
