Protect the Gig Economy Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Representative Biggs, Andy [R-AZ-5]
Introduced
Summary
Bars federal class actions that allege worker misclassification. The Protect the Gig Economy Act of 2025 would amend Rule 23(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to add a new requirement that a court may not certify a class action when the claim alleges the misclassification of employees as independent contractors. That change would prevent Rule 23 class litigation over misclassification claims in the gig economy. The bill also includes a short title provision.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
No class actions on worker misclassification
If enacted, this would change the federal class-action rule. Groups of workers would not be able to sue as a class over being labeled independent contractors. Workers could still file on their own or use other legal paths, but not a Rule 23 class case. Employers and platforms would likely face fewer class-action suits about worker status. This targets disputes common in gig work.
