[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Won’t the lawsuit give more protections to APs? That sounds like something to email families about. And possibly higher earnings for them?[/quote]

Nope. It would be a confidential settlement with payout to those party to the suit. Not changes to program for future participants. Supreme court has recently ruled that forced arbitration is A-Ok. Expect to see more arbitration clauses, no systemic changes in program. [/quote]

The settlement itself should be public because there is a class and they are entitled to know the terms and decide whether to object, opt out or stay in.  But as for the terms, I’d expect just money; that’s usually how these things shake out because they have to be acceptable to both sides.  A settlement is not a finding of liability or even an admission of liability.  It’s an admission that both sides think their position has merit AND weaknesses and they’ve decided to find common ground rather than continue to litigate.[/quote]

But don’t think they MUST have reached some sort of injunctive relief? After all the entire class turns over every 2 years...[/quote]

Ha. No. They reached a settlement without admitting liability. They’re paying off the class - what injunctive relief? [/quote]
