The deal will reform the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), capping penalties, increasing worker payments, allowing courts to issue injunctions, and requiring workers to experience violations they claim.
Governor Newsom emphasized that the agreement will maintain worker protections, encourage business compliance with labor laws, and reduce litigation, avoiding a contentious ballot measure campaign.
Labor unions and business leaders praised the deal for preserving and enhancing PAGA, emphasizing the importance of the law in holding corporations accountable for wage theft, safety violations, and misclassification.
