Difficult to do because when you want to do something like this there are a lot of tools that can be used to cover up for the behavior. There was a paper trail of “evidence” created that would give them a degree of protection. This particular company was also acquired by a very large corporation shortly after & odds of winning a lawsuit against them are basically 0.

This wasn’t the only thing they did either. They had to sell the company on not particularly favorable terms so they also invented a lot of reasons to get rid of people just before their stock options vested. Basically everyone but the 5 people at the top got fucked.
