Yes, the costs of an 11 year legal case don't bear thinking about.
One point you mentioned that I'm not sure about is the $150k - that was awarded (from what I can tell) because of the participation in union activities being protected under the EO. Again, they only got that because of what Tyler and Chen said (i.e. that it was the union's doing). Without those statements, how could they have proved what they were fired for?
I'm also not sure JW's statement that they've finally succeeded in getting what Lee Cheuk Yan has been after for years is correct either - there seems to be some issue over what is protected under the law and what isn't. My reading (and I'd appreciate others' views) is that it's only protected if it takes place at outside of normal working hours - i.e. CC was protected, but MSS may not have been.
