X. Corp has agreed to try to settle lawsuits brought by thousands of former Twitter employees who claim they were cheated of severance pay, according to a memo written by a lawyer for the staffers seen by Bloomberg News.

“After 10 months of pressing them in every direction we have succeeded in getting Twitter to the table,” attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan wrote in the memo to her clients, which Bloomberg said it obtained from a former Twitter employee who asked not to be identified because they were disclosing confidential information.

“Twitter wants to mediate with us in a global attempt to settle all claims we have filed,” the memo said.
