On September 12, 2019, the California Supreme Court in ZB, N.A., et al. v. Superior Court, No. S246711, firmly held that employees cannot collect unpaid wages under the Private Attorneys General Act (commonly known as "PAGA"). This surprising decision curtails one avenue PAGA plaintiffs and their attorneys used as a workaround when faced with enforceable arbitration agreements containing class action waivers.

On Wednesday, September 11, 2019, the California legislature passed a landmark bill known as Assembly Bill 5 (AB-5) that will reshape many companies' ability to classify workers as independent contractor. Most notably, the bill directly targets Uber and Lyft's classification of their drivers. AB-5 is now en route to the desk of Governor Newsome, whose signature would solidify the new law.
