I know a very successful attorney who would've killed for a case like this back when he was practicing (he's retired now). Labor law violations in particular make lawyers happy because where there's one victim at a particular company, there are probably many more. You'd generally get someone like the guy in the article as a client and start subpoenaing records and checking out their other employees. Then you represent them all and get a huge fscking settlement. Easy money. Remember: juries hate evil corporations that screw the little guy, and both sides know it. So why don't we see more of these? Because -- and this is according to a lawyer who did pursue a few of these cases and would've liked to pursue more -- most of the news articles are lies or gross exaggerations. The press will write a clickbaity article and play fast-and-loose with the facts. Lawyers will look into it, hoping for a case that leads to an easy settlement, and find that, underneath all the outrage, there's very little substance.
