Former Apple store employees are suing the tech giant for damages over lost wages while they stood in line each shift so their bags could be searched by managers.
The ex-workers at New York and Los Angeles Apple stores filed a class-action suit which claims Apple made them stand up to a half hour in line each shift to make sure they weren't stealing merchandise.
The filing in San Francisco federal court estimated that workers lost $1,500 a year in wages, according to GigaOm. The complaint was filed by a worker at Apple’s Century City store in Los Angeles and another at its Soho location in New York. Both were deemed “specialists” until this spring, and are suing on behalf of thousands of Apple store workers across the country.
