The suit, called "Felczer vs. Apple, Inc" will commence at 9 a.m pacific time in Judge Eddie C. Sturgeon's court. The proposed class includes every Apple employee at retail and in other venues with employment dates between Dec. 16, 2007 and Oct. 18, 2016.
Apple was first accused of violating California's labor laws in 2011 by four employees who claim the company did not grant required break time, meal time or issue paychecks on a timely basis. Apple's attempts to scuttle the trial since filing have met with failure.
"The class size continued to grow as the case continued on and time passed due to employee turn over," said attorney for the plaintiffs Tyler Belong in July 2014. "It is now over 20,000."
Counsel is seeking for damages and restitution to all plaintiffs from unlawful business practices as pursuant to ten California Labor Code sections. As usual, interest accrued and applicable attorneys' fees are also being sought.

I would say now you know why Chinese eating your lunch. Fire these class action law suits participants and hire new ones with contract sign to not participate into any class action law suits that benefits lawyers.. Most of the time it's lawyers that at the end makes most money in their fees, not class action law suit participants. In USA, it's all big scheme/conspiracy of congress(mostly lawyers), lawyers themselves, court system, law enforcement to keep you looped/trapped into their maze so you keep spending on them and they make good livings from your hard earn money. We all have such experience with here and their traffic violation.
Okay I never worked retail or fast food, since I always said I would kill a customer if they treated me the way most people treat people who are trying to help them especially ones who are making your food.
However, these people need to get over these stupid thing, really if they think they got it bad working in a mall with heating and air condition and nice clear work environment I have a few jobs for them to try on for size for a day. just a day, I bet they would turn and run home to mommy screaming. These people should give Wal-Mart a try before they complain about Apple pay them a good wags just to stand around any answer questions and process one order.
Breaks are required for certain hourly workers. This ISN'T china. Working hourly and retail sucks balls and being on your feet all day is barely alleviated by the two 15 minute breaks and 30 minute lunch one should get in an 8-hour work day (using Michigan laws as I do not know CA's). Any company that violates this needs to be duly dealt with. Apple does not get a pass because they are Apple.
