What is the name of your state? Missouri
My question concerns the handling of a class action lawsuit against my current employer of 3 years. The lawsuit was filed by 3 former employees, alleging unpaid wages on a large scale. All current and past employees of this company (including myself) were recently sent notice of eligibility to sign on as co-plantiffs. Without going into the details of the suit, suffice to say I stand to collect a relatively large amount if settled in my favor.
My question is this, can my employer threaten to fire me if I choose to sign-on as a plantiff in the suit? Keep in mind this suit is for alleged non-payment of wages for two years to almost 90% of employees at the company.
