3. My experience wtih Labor Law cases is the reverse

It seems that the courts favor employees over employers. While usually it is the little guy, employee, against the big guy, employer, there are quite a few cases which I have seen where "mom and pop" businesses get screwed over by an employee and the case was filed solely for revenge. While there may be fee and costs awarded, gettingf them out of the average employee -- impossible. Also, I have seen employee attorneys use some very questionable methods -- such as getting cases from cappers. IMO, employment law needs some drastic reforms. Yes, there are laws against cappers, but proving it...almost impossible.
