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.
If its a class action, yeah. I've been part of a class action for similar issues and had no problem with retaliation.
We ended up getting like $12 each, lol

I mean, if they fucked me out of ~$10k in overtime pay (regularly worked 80 hours at this job during peak season, which lasted 3 months) and I got a tiny check... pretty sure they still won.
