Do you know how a class action works? A comparatively small group of people file a suit and ask the court to certify a class of plaintiffs, i.e. a set of people that meet some definition. If the court certifies it, then the ultimate settlement or judgement will bind all members of that class even without any participation on their part (unless they opt out).
The proposed class does not consist of 4 people. There are just 4 lead/representative plaintiffs.
