CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
In 2004, the California Legislature passed the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), allowing aggrieved employees to hire private attorneys to act on behalf of the State, file lawsuits against their employer for any violation of the California Labor code, and recover penalties. Violations can include minor technical mistakes like pay stubs missing the start or end date of the pay period, or incorrectly documenting meal and rest breaks.

The announcement comes in response to comments by ATA on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s 2015 Crash Weighting Study.
