TikTok Faces Fired Moderators' Union Lawsuit

Former UK TikTok content moderators have filed an employment tribunal claim alleging unfair dismissal and union-busting after redundancies announced in August 2025 days before a union ballot. Backed by the Communication Workers Union and legal group Foxglove, claimants say about 250 roles were cut despite TikTok's statement that AI now automates 91% of violative content removals. The case could shape labor protections for moderation work.
