Want to avoid the most expensive mistakes to avoid for California employers and business owners? A California classaction lawsuit is a legal action in which one or more plaintiffs sue as representatives of a group of people with similar claims. Our senior employment attorney, Kristina Kourasis, Esq, created this informative video to demystify "Class Action Lawsuits" (classaction lawsuits, class suits, or representative actions). She also explained the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) and the most common class action lawsuits (meal break rounding/no rounding) that she has worked with.
