Never assume the courts are going to side with the workers. Not to be overly cynical but legal processes take lots of time and money even in the best cases, which corporations are going to have more of ten times out of ten. And that's assuming the rulings will be fair.

So much this. They're going to drag it out and make a case for how they didn't actually do what they blatantly did. While getting rid of every employee involved until it just goes away. Our legal system is built for them, not us.
