Apple’s Off-the Clock Bag Search Results In $30 million Settlement
Santa Clara, CA Apple workers were subjected to off-the-clock security bag searches from July 2009 until August 2015. It’s hard to imagine working six years for an employer that doesn’t trust its employees.

Employees said the mandatory bag checks were embarrassing and demeaning.
