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 you haven’t, please look for another place to work. Even if you don’t get retaliated against, this place can’t be that great if they’re getting sued like this.
