Apple is paying a $2 million pittance after losing a class action case brought by former Apple Store employees:
A California court has ruled in favor of Apple Store workers who accused the iPhone giant of trampling over their employment rights. It is a bittersweet victory. The trial jury yesterday awarded store staff $2m after Apple was found to have illegally denied them meal and rest breaks, and was late giving departing workers their final paychecks.
The class-action complaint was first filed in 2011 in the California State Court in San Diego by four former employees. It was later expanded to a class of more than 21,000 current and former workers who held jobs at the Apple Store as far back as 2007. Apple had been accused of a half-dozen violations of state labor laws, including California laws forbidding the failure to provide meal and rest breaks, full pay upon termination, and unfair business practices.

Maybe society would be better off if "laborers" weren't such entitled, whining bitches grabbing for as much loot as they can get their grubby, dirty, unwashed hands on.

Unquestionably society would be better if "companies" weren't such entitled, whining bitches grabbing for as much loot as they can get their grubby, dirty, unwashed hands on.
