Apple Faces Legal Action Over Employee Surveillance and Wage Discrimination Claims
Apple Inc. is accused of illegally monitoring employees’ personal devices and iCloud accounts while prohibiting discussions about working conditions and wages. The lawsuit, filed by Amar Bakta in California, claims that the company requires employees to install software that allows access to personal data. It also enforces confidentiality policies that restrict employees from discussing workplace conditions. Apple’s response rejects the allegations, asserting that employees are informed of their rights to discuss such matters. The company is already facing multiple complaints related to gender discrimination and wage disparities.
