Earlier quoted context omitted.

> Wage and hour violations get a slap on the wrist It's very easy to calculate financial harm, and for an individual worker, even multiplying that harm by 10x isn't going to be a "significant" amount for a large-ish company. In this random case, the company was ordered to pay the wages and then the same amount on top of that for the damage caused[1], so it was 2x total. > Safety violations seldom cost a company more…

You have to go through 8 years of court sitting stress for those $3 million. From that perspective it is a sensible sum. And the way I see it, somebody has to fight injustice. Otherwise laws are meaningless. This guy did it, and that is his reward. We all benefit. I would like to see you take on a lawsuit against a multi billion dollar corporation. Do you think it would be a piece of cake?
