In this episode, Gerald L. Maatman, Jr. explores how, somewhat
counter-intuitively, the aggregate monetary value of workplace
class action settlements increased in 2020, as settlement numbers
went up and plaintiffs' lawyers and government enforcement
actions monetarized their claims at higher rates. Many employers

and pace of settlements in the new "cash is king"
approach to the business cycle. Instead, workplace class action
litigation defied the odds.
