If a class action is "certified" by the Court, you may receive direct notice in the mail or via email. When direct mailed notice is not possible, notice will typically be published in major newspapers and magazines. You've probably seen those quarter-page "legal notices" in Sunday's Parade magazine or your local paper? Those are typically notices in class actions involving a certification of the class or a settlement. Another way to find out if there is a class action involving a certain product or company is to just search Google. If you can identify the attorneys who filed the class action, call them with any questions. Good luck.

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.
