My employer is getting sued for violating the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by not paying employees time and a half for overtime.
I'm afraid to join the suit because I fear retaliation (retaliation is prohibited by law but still).
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
This is a throw away account btw.
Edit- Y'all, thanks for all the replies. I'm going to contact the plaintiff's lawyers.
You should, while simultaneously getting fellow employees together and joining the suit as well as talking to them about standing together throughout this. You've got a "us vs them" narrative you can run with and it can help squash retaliation attempts. Admittedly, I don't have a roadmap for what that would look like
