Californians can freely trade all sorts of things, like baseball cards and Google stock.
But what about the ability to sue an employer that allegedly failed to provide paid meal and rest periods?
In a blow to labor unions, a California appeals court ruled that employees cannot transfer the ability to sue an employer that allegedly failed to provide paid meal and rest periods. Two unions representing mechanics and transit operators sued four companies for more than $10 million in unpaid wages. The companies challenged the unions' role, and the appeals court agreed with the trial judge who limited the unions' participation to representing members who had specifically authorized the unions to do so.
