Reaching the same result as Galarsa v. Dolgen California, LLC (2023) 2023 Cal. App. LEXIS 129, this decision holds that plaintiff’s individual PAGA claims (i.e., those which are based on Lab. Code violations affecting the plaintiff) must be arbitrated.  However, representative PAGA claims based on Lab. Code violations affecting only employees other than the plaintiff are not subject to arbitration, and the plaintiff does not lose standing to bring those claims even though his own have been referred to arbitration.  The US Supreme Court’s contrary conclusion in Viking River Cruises, Inc. v. Moriana (2022) 142 S.Ct. 1906 is not binding on this state law question and is not reconcilable with Kim v. Reins International California, Inc. (2020) 9 Cal.5th 73.
