Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves

SwiftyNifty writes "Apple employees are putting together a class action lawsuit for not receiving overtime pay. A Lawsuit filed Monday in California seeks class action status alleging that Apple denied technical staffers required overtime pay and meal compensation in violation of state law. Filed in the US District Court for Southern California, the complaint claims that many Apple employees are routinely subjected to working conditions resembling indentured servitude, or 'modern day slaves,' for lack of better words."

Exactly. Obama's motto should be this... Change, Taxes we can believe in! Taxes should go down, not up. IN addition I'm a big proponent of getting rid of income tax in favor of a fair tax on goods and services sold.
