I suspect I already know the answer (they have the best lawyers), but these organizations seem like such a juicy target especially for a class action lawsuit. Has anyone tried that at any point and how are their leg bones?

you better hope you get rich enough from the lawsuit to never work in the business again, and as a member of a class action suit that's not going to happen. I'm sure there are many lawyers who would happily target them, but good luck signing up enough claimants to certify.
