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.
You are viewing a single thread.
View all comments You should, while simultaneously getting fellow employees together and joining the suit as well as talking to them about standing together throughout this. You’ve got a “us vs them” narrative you can run with and it can help squash retaliation attempts. Admittedly, I don’t have a roadmap for what that would look like
