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."

Um...Indentured Servitude? Not Hardly.

I think what's been overlooked by these employees is that they're always free to quit and find employment elsewhere. If I worked for a company (at an hourly wage) and they refused to pay me overtime, I'd do the smart thing: leave.

I dunno...from what I've read, Obama's tax plan will not only put the crunch on 'big' business, but, is gonna really squeeze the small businesses in the US. This is scary to me since small businesses employ the large majority of people in the US.
