Last night when I opened my @lyft app I saw new terms & conditions. Because I'm a lawyer, I scrolled. What I saw made me so mad I closed the app & hailed a cab. @lyft is not only forcing people into #arbitration, they are now requiring #PAGA waivers 😡⬇️ lyft.com/terms

@lyft What's #PAGA and why is it bad to waive your right to it? Since most companies now require #forcedarbitration, one of the only ways to get justice in court is through whistle blower statutes called "Private Attorney Generals Act's" populardemocracy.org/sites/default/…

@lyft Basically #PAGA allows someone who would otherwise be forced into secret arbitration to bring their claims to light and get justice. So what @lyft is doing is really heinous. It is saying to users: change the law all you want, we will just require you to waive your rights.

@lyft Bottom line: corporations shouldn't be able to force people to waive their rights just to use their services. It's BS and it needs to stop.

@lyft As this gets more re-tweets, want to make sure people know that 1)turns out this isn't a new policy from @lyft, but still a bad one and 2)CA Courts and the 9th Circuit have held that #PAGA waivers aren't enforceable. Thank you @CharlotteGarden!
