Can my old employer get me fired bc of me suing them?
I work in Pa and recently quit my job to get a new one after 11 years. I was mandated to work overtime but was only paid straight time. I am thinking of starting a class action law suit against my former employer as I was a regular non salaried employee. I want to make sure my old employer can't do anything to get my employment terminated at my new, current job? How long does it normally take to win a class action lawsuit like this? I have three other ex employees who want to go in on the lawsuit.

If it can be shown that your former employer "got you fired" because you participated in a class action for overtime wages, that could violate the Fair Labor Standards Act, the same statute your overtime claim is based upon, although it sounds farfetched.
You should be sure, however, that you and your former coworkers hire a lawyer and firm which has already handled FLSA and wage and hour cases.
