What do these stages mean?

Appeal: A higher court reviewing an earlier decision. Many published opinions come from this stage, after a lot has already happened in the case.
Summary judgment: A ruling where the judge decides the case — or part of it — without a trial, because one side argues the key facts are not in dispute. For workers, getting past this step is often the biggest hurdle.
Motion to dismiss: An early request — usually by the employer — to throw the case out before any evidence is gathered.
Trial verdict: A judge or jury heard the evidence and reached a decision. Relatively few disputes get this far.
Settlement / consent decree: The two sides resolved the dispute by agreement, sometimes with court approval. Most settlements are private and never show up in published opinions.
Other rulings: Procedural decisions and orders that do not fit the main stages above.

Published federal-court opinions only — most workplace disputes are resolved privately. This is not anyone’s odds, and not a finding that any employer violated the law.
