I opted out of my check in the settlement. Part of why it was so small is the law firm representing the plaintiffs apparently were more interested in a quick settlement than reasonable compensation. The settlement you quote there wasn't the final one; that was the one rejected as being embarrassingly too small. The final settlement in 2015 was larger, but still very small.
For me it was the personal abuse of trust that really stuck with me. Folks I worked with and respected colluded to keep my wages and the wages of my colleagues low. Illegally. I don't think they ever apologized for it either.
