Bonus Episode: What Are the Legal Repercussions of Twitter Layoffs in Ghana?

Since Elon Musk took over Twitter in October, 2023, he has laid off thousands of staff, cutting the company’s workforce by more than half. In Accra, Ghana where the Africa team is based, Musk disengaged all but one employee. Now, former staffers there are seeking redress for their firing, claiming Musk violated Ghana’s labor laws. In Accra, Olumide Abimbola speaks to Carla Olympio, the lawyer taking on the case.

Guests

Educated in Ghana and the United Kingdom, Olympio acquired broad experience in law and across the varied industries of media, mining and oil and gas before setting up the Agency. The lawyer is currently leading negotiations with Twitter on behalf of former employees based in Accra.
