Just a few months ago, some of the employees Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), they sued the company, accusing it of keeping them unnecessarily overtime due to security measures directed against them.
Employees Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), I maintain that these security measures involve checking bags, backpacks or other similar objects before and after the start or end of the program, approximately 30 minutes being lost daily by people because of these productions.
The employees claim that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), should pay them for the time lost in the case of these checks, but the American judge decided that Apple is not wrong when it checks its employees to see if they steal its products or bring prohibited items to the stores.
If the judge had awarded the cause of the employees, Apple would have had to pay 12.400 people from 52 stores for the time lost during these checks, they being mandatory, the amount of 60 million dollars being estimated for these compensations.
It is undisputed that some employees did not bring bags to work and therefore did not have to be searched when they left the store.
Although each employee subject to these security measures would have received, on average, 4838 dollars, the judge who analyzed the request for a summons decided that the employees could have bypassed this procedure if they had not brought any bags with them at work.
Practically, the judge also blamed the employees who should have come to work with only their clothes on, something you cannot ask of all people, although some employees did so and avoided wasting time at the queue for checking gentiles.
Although this procedure was done in 52 Apple Stores around the world, Tim Cook did not seem to have known about its existence, but it seems that it was not stopped even after he found out.
What do you think about the judge's decision?
