New law makes it easier for workers to file suits By Eve Mitchell, Oakland Tribune
EMPLOYERS are bracing for a new law that will make it easier for workers to sue companies over wage disputes, overtime pay and working conditions.
Senate Bill 796 makes it possible for workers to take their employer directly to court over alleged labor law violations under the jurisdiction of the state Labor Code, instead of first filing a complaint with the state Labor Commissioner.
The law is supported by the Oakland-based California Labor Federation AFL-CIO and several other unions. It is opposed by the California Chamber of Commerce and business groups.------------------------------------------- posted 7:17 AM :: reference link ::
