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.
