Apple pays $30 million to avoid lawsuit
As we read on 9to5mac, Apple will pay around $30 million to avoid a lawsuit. The point is that many of their employees are forced to go through strict security checks and even search their pockets, purses and bags when leaving their workplace. All this outside of working hours.
workers who came to lose 45 minutes in this exercise every day, a lawsuit was filed in 2013. Apple even went so far as to search their personal electronic devices. Apple claimed that this practice was just a security measure to prevent leaks or employees from stealing products. Apparently Tim Cook was not aware of this measure, he ended it in 2015 and will now compensate the affected employees (more than 12,000) with $30 million, which means that each will get about $1,200.
The truth is, this isn’t the first time Apple has faced a lawsuit. A few years ago, a teenager sued the Cupertino family over facial recognition. All security measures that Apple emplees to prevent leaks are also known, which many of its employees do not like.
