Opinion: California’s two-decade battle over PAGA labor law still rages
On Oct. 7, 2003, California voters decided to recall their governor, Gray Davis, less than a year after giving him a second term, and replace him with action movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It was also Davis’ way of thanking unions and trial attorneys for standing by him during his two campaigns for governor and the recall election. In 2018, the state Supreme Court indirectly expanded PAGA’s potential impact by greatly restricting employers’ classification of workers as independent contractors exempt from state labor laws.
