Drivers Slam Lyft s Hail Mary Attempt To Dodge PAGA Claims
Law360, San Francisco (July 7, 2021, 10:36 PM EDT) Lyft drivers claiming the ride-hailing company misclassified them as independent contractors urged a California state judge Wednesday to reject Lyft s bids to brush aside their Private Attorneys General Act and class claims while the California Labor Commissioner litigates a parallel action, saying their cases should proceed separately.
Leaving the cases tethered could result in an absurd delay to Lyft driver Brandon Olson s case given that the company is trying to compel fellow Lyft driver David Melnicoe and the rest of the class claims to arbitration, their attorney Jahan C. Sagafi of Outten & Golden LLP told San Francisco Superior Court Judge.
