It is a curious dichotomy that the IP story of the week awarded $500mil in damages to a Corp, and this labor story effecting "1.6mil" workers is looking to settle for $7.5mil($1.7mil flagged). Assuming the class identification to be true, you would think that a wrongly classified worker would have incurred at least $100 in negatives, even if you only totaled up potential unemployment it would be more for than this amount for that subgroup.
The gig economy is a wild alternate reality in my mind, where we travel back to a pre OSHA/DOL period in worker relations.
