Can employers discriminate against you for being part of a class action lawsuit against your former employer?

In general employees can discriminate for any reason other than those specified in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which stipulates:
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
So technically an employer could discriminate based on most anything you could imagine.
Practically speaking, how would an employer ever be aware that a potential employee was part of a class action lawsuit? This strikes me as an unwise topic to bring up during an interview. Definitely not the thing to add when the interviewer asks about anything else you'd care to share.

When applying for a new job can new employers ask your old employer how many sick days you had?
To my knowledge, employers can ask about your attendance. They are NOT permitted to ask why you were out of the office. They are NOT permitted to ask questions about your religious or sexual orientations. They are not permitted to ask specifics about whether or not the previous employer thinks you are ugly or a liar or whatever. If the potential employer does ask these, you can file a lawsuit. If the previous employer makes untruthful, slanderous statements about you, you can also file a lawsuit.

If you file a lawsuit against your company eg for discrimination does the next future employer hear about it Will it be in a reference or records that they are allowed to release?
AnswerNO! a lawsuit is a filing in court and employers are STRICTLY forbidden from discussing an ongoing court action; furthermore the ONLY information a former employer may release to a prospective future employer is simply the dates you were employed with them, and whether or not you are eligible for re-hire. if they release ANY information beyond that, it is cause for further action; however, if you work in an "at-will state" that is VERY diffcult to prove as cause for why you did not get the job.
