Adolph v. Uber Technologies, Inc.

Summary

The court held that compelling arbitration of an employee’s individual PAGA claims does not eliminate the employee’s statutory standing to litigate non-individual PAGA claims in court. PAGA standing depends on whether the plaintiff was employed by the alleged violator and personally suffered at least one Labor Code violation, and arbitration does not nullify that status. The court reversed and remanded for further proceedings, while declining to decide the parties’ broader dispute over the arbitration agreement’s interpretation.
