Bill > HR100

This bill seeks to modify Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which governs class action lawsuits, by adding a new provision that prevents legal claims from being brought as class actions if they allege worker misclassification in the gig economy. Specifically, the bill would amend the rule to include a fifth condition for class action certification that prohibits lawsuits challenging the classification of workers as independent contractors rather than employees. This change would make it more difficult for gig workers to collectively sue companies like rideshare or delivery platforms over their employment status, potentially protecting small businesses and gig economy companies from what the bill's sponsors view as costly and disruptive litigation. The bill, titled the "Protect the Gig Economy Act of 2025," appears designed to provide legal shield for businesses that rely heavily on contractor-based workforce models by limiting their exposure to class action lawsuits related to worker classification.
