Apple has won a class-action lawsuit brought by employees at its California stores, who claimed that they should be compensated for time spent during bag checks for pilferage when they left the store.</p><p>
District Judge William Alsup of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled Saturday that the employees had an option not to bring bags to work.</p><p>
“Rather than prohibiting employees from bringing bags and personal Apple devices into the store altogether, Apple took a milder approach to theft prevention and offered its employees the option to bring bags and personal Apple devices into a store subject to the condition that such items must be searched when they leave the store,” he wrote in his order, following summary motions for judgment by both Apple and the employees.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3002603/legal/apple-employee-class-action-lawsuit-over-bag-checks-dismissed.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
