- No immediate relief for Meta workers claiming AI fired them
A federal judge denied a temporary restraining order against Meta in a case where 26 former employees claim they were laid off via AI-generated metrics targeting workers on protected leave, such as maternity or medical leave. The judge ruled that plaintiffs’ harms, including loss of health insurance and equity, are not irreparable but noted potential concerns for four foreign-born workers facing immigration status risks.
