It doesn’t need to be enforceable, as far as the minimum wage class is concerned- if the spurious suit alone would have the defendant summoned to court multiple times over months, and likely unemployed during that time, it’s just as destructive as a real, successful suit would be for an ex-Googler, if not moreso. Without wages they can’t pay rent or feed their family (because this class is rarely able to accumulate savings.). If they can get a job before the suit resolves, having to move shifts around to get to court appointments could make them lose it again. And that’s assuming they have complete faith, somehow, that the law would rule in their favor- when they’re fighting a corporation, have minimal legal resources if their own, they would have to be very sure they live in a no-enforcement state- because a successful suit would end their financial life.
