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.

I know every situation is different but if your bosses went into your wallet while you were at lunch and took out 20 bucks every day, would you not call them out? Even if it meant some consequences? There’s something vital about standing up for yourself - they only get away so easy with it because its robbery with extra steps (a la Rick & Morty)
