H.R. 100
Protect the Gig Economy Act of 2025
In Plain Language
This bill adds a new rule for class action lawsuits in federal court: before a lawsuit can proceed, the judge must first confirm that the case doesn't involve claims about workers being wrongly classified as independent contractors instead of employees. This requirement applies whether the worker is suing their employer or a company is suing workers.
