And when someone dies because they don't have access to medication? No middle manager has a right to an employee's health data.

Or what? You’ll sue.
I never got paid me for the time I spent going through TSA, or sitting around the airport waiting for the plane to arrive, or driving back and forth to the airport, or… many other time wasters.
Check your entitlement.
What about their statement has anything to do with the TSA?
I don't know why they don't just have lockers, and require employees to put their bags in the lockers on arrival. No bags outside of the room with the lockers.
If someone manages to steal anything in this case, it will be a lot more obviously on camera.

You’ve heard of pockets, right? If you‘re taking so many medications that you need a bag to carry all of them, a bag search is the least of your concerns.
I think by some of your replies you may need a little medication.
Or they could stash it under a bridge like a troll.
Yep - I sometimes get randomly drug/alcohol tested after finishing a trip, and you better believe I'm being paid for the time.
It's employers that shouldn't be so entitled that they demand their employees aren't compensated for their time at work. Also, unless you're counting time working for the TSA, your comparison doesn't make sense.
Wow, where's that entitlement now?
In general, work-related travel time is compensable unless the travel is part of the normal employee commuting or incidental to it.
Neither can legitimate their boorish practices based on their concerns. Apple sow's distrust and frustration among its employees, and what it's doing is not real security. Why are you so quick to defend the harsh tactics corporations take against their employees?
I actually think it's pretty clear: the bag checks weren't so much the issue as the unpaid time.
Bag searches are legal. But only on company time. Duh…
How would you know they don’t need it?
There could be plenty of reasons why someone would need to bring it inside. I think it’s to broad of a statement to ultimately say “Leave bag in your car, you don’t need it…”
I’d say that’s grounds to raise even more problems by telling an employee they don’t need it, which could easily be challenged. That’s a not a road Apple would likely wouldn’t want to give directives versus maybe a recommendation.
It doesn't even need to reach that level.
Unless Apple expects someone to keep their lunch in their pants pocket, it's ridiculous. If Apple's response is to go eat out, that already violates reasonable accommodations required under employment California law (e.g. allergies to take out food).
America needs to do something about the glut of law graduates it produces and re-direct these talented brains into something more productive like tech.
These constant "class action law suits" are just a symptom of the need to feed by this over abundance of lawyers the country has.
It must be counter productive surely?

They are not willing to pay high fees/salary for local tech that is why they are outsourcing it in other countries like China where they can get more for less...
Are you sure they’ve never caught a single terrorist?
The last concert I attended I was treated like a criminal. I think I had to even remove my belt. I’ve not been to a concert since.
Nope, I make and lunch and take it. Again, a company wants to check my back, it’s on their time.
I’ve never had anyone ask to check my bag, I also don’t get paid going to any of those.
