SAN FRANCISCO: California’s largest business and labour groups agree to change a landmark law that has helped workers sue companies such as Walmart Inc, Uber Technologies Inc and Google for workplace violations.
The deal caps years of efforts by the state’s employers to rein in the Private Attorneys General Act, which they blame for mounting lawsuits that according to one study have cost businesses US$10bil during the past decade.
