Must read for anyone considering a lawsuit
Rating:
5 / 5
This book is not only invaluable information for anyone considering a lawsuit against their employer - it is also a very gripping and engaging read. I work for IBM and am president of an employee union organization (Alliance@IBM/CWA Local 1701). In my role I get a ton of inquiries from employees who want to sue IBM for some injustice. What most people do not understand is, that suing an employer is very difficult and expensive. What this book tells you is a real life story about what it takes - the sacrifices of the litigants, the friends, the lawyers - what it really takes to go through the years of work to actually carry out a class action lawsuit. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand what they may be undertaking if they feel they have been treated unfairly by their employer, and want to pursue a lawsuit. For women interested in the whole issue of sexual discrimination, this is also a must-read book.
A 15 YR LAWSUIT WITH CONTINUAL TENSION

CAUTION: if you are a fingernail biter, read this book with your gloves on as the contents may cause you "finger" problems. This book reveals employee conduct that is unbelievable, yet true. The authors present a complex case with simplicity that should keep you reading through the night. I read this aloud to my wife and she loved it. There are more twists and turns in this story than any body of fiction. Read it.
Stunning

I finished CLASS ACTION last night and find myself stunned at (first) the treatment of the women who worked at the mine and (second) the 10-year court battle. It is so inhumane that it's difficult to comprehend that it's all true. Brava to the authors for telling this important story. Now we have to find someone to make it into the next gripping, blockbuster movie!
