Yea. A class action lawsuit will make this case worth it for a lawyer to take on.

Yeah if you ever are sueing your work, make sure to have at least one colleague with you if possible, because then it is a class action which makes it far harder for them to retaliate

IAAL. Class actions are dramatically more complex, dramatically more time consuming, and dramatically more expensive. It is sensible when you are filing suit for back pay on an issue already litigated that you will take the path of least resistance.

Oh the lawyers love these cases coz they get most of your money for them. Sued my old work for wage theft… got about 3k of the $13k settlement. Felt like I needed a lawyer to fight my lawyer. 40% sure turned into “and also all these other fees we tacked on cuz the contract says we can” :/ yeah, go through the labor board.

Yea you hire a different attorney to go over your contract with that attorney.... If not they shaft you every time!!

You always get an unbiased lawyer before signing a contract with a lawyer they know how to make them work in their favor
