Joined a Class-Action against my former employer

I have become increasingly left-leaning of late and was reflecting on some of the jobs I've held in the past, when I saw that a current “work-study” at a pole dance studio I used to workstudy at filed a class action lawsuit with 3 other workstudies. It was a 12 month agreement where we worked 2 8-hr shifts a week in exchange for unlimited free classes (nobody in my cohort took nearly as many classes as I did, and I had a fulltime job worked 42 hrs a week). The owner of the studio was the worst manager I've ever seen. I have a very fulfilling and well-paying job now, but it just feels very nice to know that she has this to deal with now. We probably won't see any money out of it, but I don't care.
