Nine -year lawsuit ended: Apple has delayed employees from get off work because of searching for bags, and was sentenced to compensate 200 million

In 2013, Apple was reported to court by retail clerk workers for preventing theft because of searching for theft. Nine years later, the collective lawsuit was officially reached. On the 16th,#Apple delayed employees to compensate 200 million from get off work due to search bags.

According to the China Fund, in 2013, two California employees filed a lawsuit against Apple, and the lawsuit was subsequently expanded into a collective lawsuit of employees. These employees believe that they have to line up for 10-15 minutes every day after get off work, and then they can leave the store, and the process of waiting for security checks is "unpaid".

For hours, if you accumulate your salary after get off work after work, you correspond to about $ 1,500 each year. After being litigated by employees, Apple no longer searches for employees before get off work.

This lawsuit can be regarded as a "tug -of -war". In 2015, a California judge quoted similar cases and rejected the collective lawsuit of employees, but the employees later appealed. According to Reuters, in 2020, the state court made a decision on Apple, saying that it would be unrealistic to expect employees to work without personal items. The Federal Court subsequently resumed the case, and the US District Court Judge William Ausp said last year that he plans to make a simple judgment on the plaintiff and order the damage compensation.

On August 13, Al Supu approved the reconciliation agreement in a collective lawsuit. This marks the biggest safety search case reconciliation in the history of the state. The settlement of $ 30.5 million (about 200 million yuan) will be paid to a group, including 14,683 Apple employees living in California, with an average of $ 1328 compensation for each employee.

It is also said that Wal -Mart and Amazon are also one of the major US employers who are facing similar lawsuits. Amazon and a personnel agency agreed to pay $ 8.7 million to 42,000 warehouse workers last year to resolve one of the cases.
