Under Massachusetts law, the mere alignment of interests is insufficient to support preclusive effect against a nonparty; the doctrines of res judicata and law of the case do not bar a group of plaintiffs from litigating whether they qualified as employees of a company when they had been severed from a prior case and the plaintiff in that case had no legal relationship to the group plaintiffs. The retroactive application of the Dynamex employment test does not violate due process.
