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."

    Not only you drank the cool-aid, tool, but you bought the whole bourgeois line, hook and sinker.

    Oh, one of us has swallowed some Big Lies, but it's not me. Using the word "bourgeois" gives you away. Let me guess: Chomsky is one of your heroes.

    I'll gladly watch you squeal when you won't be able to fill-up your SUV any more...

    Ah yes, the fundamental, though much too common, misunderstanding of economics and oil production. Hint: we will NEVER run out of oil. EVER.

    Yep, we need to unionize all of those jobs so that there's even more incentive to offshore that work as well.

    I'm sure it will be comforting to know that you'd have a high paying job... if you had a job.
