DoorDash found itself trapped in a snare of its own making. In the company's efforts to avoid class action lawsuits, it had required workers to individually arbitrate any claims they had against DoorDash, though DoorDash would pay all the arbitration fees (as required by California law). DoorDash, like many companies, required its employees to sign such arbitration agreements because it thought workers wouldn't choose to go one-on-one against a corporate giant.
