Most people in this situation are struggling to feed their family, they don't have time for arbitration. And the only way they'd get representation is from someone doing a class action for a cut of the winnings. So they either need litigation with teeth (big class actions with massive punitive damages) or regulatory oversight with similar strength, to make employers unwilling to risk it. Or strong unions that can negotiate and effectively with hold labor as a group.

- acover 4y agoThat entirely depends on the case. There are class actions that are life changing then there are those where your damages are only $5.
