Agreeing with decisions from many other districts, this decision holds that an employer cannot compel arbitration of its worker’s PAGA claim, as the claim is by the state, not by the worker who signed the arbitration agreement. Iskanian v. CLS Transportation (2014) 59 Cal.4th 348 remains good law and was not undermined by Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis (2018) 138 S.Ct. 1612.
