The federal wage and hour law (FLSA) will only let employees recover unpaid wages if they file a written consent to join the collective action lawsuit. That is, FLSA requires that each employee who wants to recover unpaid wages or overtime to individually sign a consent form and join the lawsuit and become member of the class.
