I suspect I already know the answer (they have the best lawyers), but these organizations seem like such a juicy target especially for a class action lawsuit. Has anyone tried that at any point and how are their leg bones?

you better hope you get rich enough from the lawsuit to never work in the business again, and as a member of a class action suit that's not going to happen. I'm sure there are many lawyers who would happily target them, but good luck signing up enough claimants to certify.

As the person starting the class action lawsuit, don’t you get a whole lot more? Moreover, wouldn’t these companies be terrified of such lawsuits?

There are lawsuits once in a while, but you get risked being blackballed in the industry eternally.

They typically get silently settled with a gag clause
