Apple Retailer Facing Class Action Suit Over Employee Bag Checks

Posted by Unknown on from the unpaid-labor dept.

aitikin writes "Former Apple employees say the company requires workers to stand around without pay for up to 30 minutes a day while waiting for managers to search their bags for stolen merchandise." The filing. It looks pretty illegal: mandatory unpaid checks of personal belongings before and after work and all breaks.

    hiring people to work in your store who can't afford the product. Ford paid his workers well so they could afford his card. Apple store has to search it's workers to prevent theft. Maybe if they paid them better they wouldn't have to worry about this.

    Ford made the car affordable and raised workers wages. Apple has done the opposite.

    I've no idea why X when it's so clearly retarded.

    It's because retarded people naturally gravitate to retarded ideas. Apple haters are naturally retarded, being unable to process any information that is not negative about Apple, therefore it is quite natural that the Apple Hater would propagate a retarded myth.

    It's nice of you to try and fix things but Apple Haters cannot be fixed; they are immutable.
