Law firms and investors making millions from STOLEN WAGES class actions while workers get just thousands
('a fair day's work for a fair day's pay', didn't take place because Bosses are always keen to “reduce the cost of labour.”)

Its lawyers are expected to seek to narrow prior court rulings & also defend against an anticipated rise in #ClassAction lawsuits challenging #Trump policies.
Lawyers in the unit are opposing 2 attempts by advocacy organizations to establish a nationwide class of people to challenge Trump's order on #BirthrightCitizenship. A judge granted one request on Thursday.
@X00001 #Nintendo kicking #Switch2 devices off their network for #ToS violations is one thing, and like the #Xbox360 that is justifyable.
Even #Microsoft of all corporations knew that they cannot cross that line, and merely exclude #consoles from #Multiplayer and #Purchases but still allowing people to play their games.
I am not affected and most certainly won't buy a #NSW2 / #SW2 for that reason alone.
Yay Judge LaPlante
New Hampshire judge to pause Trump’s birthright citizenship order – Boston 25 News https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/new-hampshire-judge-pause-trumps-birthright-citizenship-order/I2DBK3QSUNGYRKHIYEGJVWYNYI/
Under #SCOTUS’ decision, Trump's #ExecutiveOrder would take effect on July 27.
Looking to seize upon an exception in the Supreme Court's ruling, the lawyers for the plaintiffs argued that the decision allows #judges to continue to block #Trump policies on a nationwide basis in #ClassAction lawsuits.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante in Concord, New Hampshire, made the ruling after #ImmigrantRights advocates implored him to grant #ClassAction status to a lawsuit they filed seeking to represent any babies whose #citizenship status would be threatened by implementation of #Trump's directive.
The process to certify a class can often take months. A snr White House ofcl told Reuters the #Trump admin will be watching #class certification decisions closely & plans to aggressively challenge them to prevent “abuse”of the process.
The govt says the named class plaintiffs in the New Hampshire case are too different from one another to be able to proceed as a #ClassAction. They include an #asylum seeker & someone on a #StudentVisa.
The plaintiffs in the NH #BirthrightCitizenship case are looking to seize upon one of the major exceptions to #SCOTUS’ ruling. They argue it allows #judges to continue to block #Trump policies on a nationwide basis in #ClassAction lawsuits.
The lawsuit, which was filed by the #ACLU & others hours after the Supreme Court ruled, seeks class action status on behalf of babies who would be subject to Trump's #ExecutiveOrder & their parents.
Many class action lawsuits related to data breaches get dismissed for lack of standing when plaintiffs cannot show concrete injury or imminent harm. Or when they do allege concrete harm like fraud or IDtheft, they may have trouble showing it was due to that specific #databreach and not any of a gadzillion other breaches that have occurred.
In Webb v. Injured Workers Pharmacy, the lower court dismissed the suit because it didn't think the plaintiffs made a clear enough showing of tracing the harm to the breach.
The appellate court reversed and remanded.
After that, the case settled for more than $1M.
#ACLU, #DemocracyDefendersAction, #NAACP, #LDF, #LULAC et al have also now filed a #ClassAction to hold #Trump's #BirthrightCitizenship order #unconstitutional nationwide.

The complaint says the new law is vague, contradicts federal law & makes it impossible for #healthcare providers to determine exactly what kind of immigration status is excluded and how to verify that status for patients. They want a #judge to grant them #ClassAction status, expanding any ruling to other impacted people.
CASA (plaintiff in Maryland #BirthrightCitizenship case) has now filed an amended complaint seeking class certification for similarly situated individuals impacted by #Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder.
…and so it begins. The thousands of #ClassAction certification requests.
Have fun #FederalCourts!
#Alito says next that the ruling "will have very little value if district courts award relief to broadly defined classes without following" the procedural protections for class certification.
District courts are going to have to start certifying classes now [#ClassAction].

I was excited to get notice of my share of a distribution in a class action against Equifax.
My share: $0.03.
Maybe that will make affordable that nice Romanée Conti at Auberge de l'Ill in Alsace. I'm almost there. Just another $28,693.97.
Curious as to whether folks respond to solicitations on class-action suits any longer?
Years ago I generally did, garnering my very own $5.23 judgement, but no longer do, for the risk of more data breaches, phishing scams, and paltry awards.
Just got another one today. You?
Calgary #AQHI risk level has climbed to a 5 from #Wildfire smoke which, again, means [REPEAT AFTER ME, CALGARY] some of the richest people on the planet OWE ME MONEY again and they OWE YOU too. #SueBigOil #ClassAction
