TikTok faces legal threat over job cuts

TikTok is facing potential legal action after announcing job cuts affecting over 400 UK safety workers. The company is accused of threatening redundancy just days before a union vote. Two moderators have sent a legal letter citing unlawful detriment and unfair dismissal. Stella Caram, head of legal at Foxglove, said: “This is obvious, blatant and unlawful union-busting.” TikTok has one month to respond to the claim. A spokesperson for TikTok denied the allegations, saying the changes are part of a global reorganisation to enhance user safety.
