Protecting Gig Economy Companies from Class Action Lawsuits

This bill aims to protect gig economy companies, such as ride-sharing or delivery platforms, and small businesses from costly class action lawsuits. These changes mean that workers cannot file class action lawsuits if their claim is about being wrongly classified as independent contractors instead of employees. In practice, this could make it harder for individuals working on platforms to assert their rights if they believe they should be treated as employees.
