California is set to change a law that large businesses say make it easier for workers to sue employers and have cost them $10 billion over the past decade, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.
Concretely, companies like Walmart, Uber and Google say the Private Attorneys General Act led to mounting lawsuits for workplace violations. In contrast, advocates said the law, known as PAGA, is a model of worker protections that has provided workers with a tool to defend themselves against powerful companies.
