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.

    Yeah, definitely join… I was a manager at a company that was doing this to people before I got there. A couple of the dudes who worked for me got around $40k iirc. I sued them under title IX when they fired me, my performance was always highly rated until I got a homophobic boss, and they settled with me for a nice chunk. Always sue your employer.
