The Second Appellate District reversed an order and remanded. The court held that substantial evidence did not support a finding by a trial court that a class-action-waiver provision in an employment agreement was unenforceable.
Terri Brown worked as a security guard for Ralphs Grocery Company and The Kroger Co. (collectively, Ralphs). Brown sued Ralphs. Among other things, she asserted as a class action four Labor Code violations. Brown also alleged that she satisfied all administrative prerequisites to pursuing a representative action under the Private Attorney General Act (PAGA) and sought civil penalties pursuant to that statute.
