CA Supreme Court may get last word on arbitration of PAGA representative claims

A former Lyft driver filed suit against the rideshare company under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (PAGA), alleging it misclassified him and other drivers as independent contractors rather than employees, thereby violating multiple provisions of the labor code. The company tried to compel arbitration. The limitations the California Supreme Court can impose on employment arbitration agreements have gone up to the U.S. Supreme Court several times, but still confusion remains. Several California appellate courts refuse to follow Washington’s directive. Will the California Supreme Court do the same?
