Two people for six years in that industry they probably lost a lot more than $600k.

I doubt they were out of work for that whole time.

They were held for a total of 20 hours.

Not relevant to the reputational damage which is particularly punishing in their line of work.

I wonder how much stigma contractors carry for being successful at filing lawsuits, no matter how legitimate the claim.

What reputational damage?

Particularly not with the free advertising they got from this.
