Class action suits have an advantage for the company: They don't need to pay a filing fee for each individual case. Like the $12 million for 5000 arbitration cases against doordash https://www.reuters.com/article/us-otc-doordash-idUSKBN2052S1 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-otc-doordash-idUSKBN2052S...
- olliej 3y agoOh yeah, people have finally realized that you can _punish_ companies that pull this BS, or in the case of stuff like Twitter's mass layoffs the individual claims are large enough to warrant legal fees (because twitter is run by unethical scum) and the mass nature of the layoffs means that twitter's malicious behavior is going to cost twitter money. The end hope is I guess that mass arbitration will cause those companies to settle. Of course the immensely corrupt nature of the current Supreme Court mean Musk will probably just need to write a couple of checks to buy a ruling that say people forced into arbitration are required to pay the costs of arbitration and put up the funds ahead of time. Maybe won't even need a check, just a fishing vacation gift.
