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.

    Join it and you'll get fired. Just how it works.

    But, you can't keep working at a place that steals from you. So, start looking for a new job tonight, and join the lawsuit tomorrow.
