加利福尼亚州最大的工商团体同意修改一项里程碑式的法律,该法律帮助员工起诉沃尔玛公司、优步科技公司和谷歌等公司的违规行为。
The deal caps years of efforts by the state's employers to rein in the Private Attorneys General Act, which they blame for mounting lawsuits that according to one study have cost businesses $10 billion during the past decade. Advocates say the law, known as PAGA, is a model of worker protection that has given employees a measure of recourse against powerful companies.
