A class action lawsuit is a lawsuit in which one firm represent many different clients in the same claim.

Generally no (assuming you are in the US) but the particulars of the lawsuit can effect this. For example if the suit is unfounded (false or without any supporting evidence) then you may be fired for inpropriety or something similar. Answer; Not if your lawsuit is legitimate.
That is the correct spelling of "lawsuit" (a civil legal action).
