Superior Court of San Joaquin County (Angelo Dairy et al., Real Parties in Interest), S155965. (C054185; 153 Cal.App.4th 777; Superior Court of San Joaquin County; CV028612.) Petition for review after the Court of Appeal granted a petition for peremptory writ of mandate. This case presents the following issues: (1) Must an employee who is suing an employer for labor law violations on behalf of himself and others under the Unfair Competition Law (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17203) bring his representative claims as a class action? (2) Must an employee who is pursuing such claims under the Private Attorneys General Act (Lab. Code, § 2699) bring them as a class action?
Amalgamated Transit Union v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County (First Transit, Inc., et al., Real Parties in Interest), S151615 #07-247 Amalgamated Transit Union v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County (First Transit, Inc., et al., Real Parties in Interest), S151615. (B191879; 148 Cal.App.4th 39; Superior Court of Los Angeles County; KC043962.) Petition for review after the Court of Appeal denied a petition for peremptory writ of mandate. This case presents the following issues: (1) Does a worker's assignment to the worker's union of a cause of action for meal and rest period violations carry with it the worker's right to sue in a representative capacity under the Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (Lab. Code, § 2698 et seq.) or the Unfair Competition Law (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17200 et seq.)? (2) Does Business and Professions Code section 17203, as amended by Proposition 64, which provides that representative claims may be brought only if the injured claimant &#8213;complies with Section 382 of the Code of Civil Procedure, require that private representative claims meet the procedural requirements applicable to class action lawsuits?
