This is not a win for Twitter ex-employees.

An employment contract isn't worth anything if you can't sue the employer other than in a kangaroo court where you lose no matter what.

Twitter's lawyers may complain, but the ex-employees still aren't going to get paid, so Twitter still wins.

Nah the courts can void an arbitration clause and group the claims into a class action lawsuit when such ""exraordianry"" circumstances arise that make it impossible to settle claims through arbitration.
