I can't imagine Apple did this deliberately. Most large companies are aware that the PR costs of such mistakes are higher that the costs and would never deliberately try to screw over workers. It was probably an oversight by one/some of its managers or vendors. Spend enough time auditing any Fortune 500 company's worker policies at a plant, warehouse or retail store and I'm sure you'll find similar examples. Like the recent 60minutes covered 'Google driveby lawsuits against stores'.
- bsder 10y ago> I can't imagine Apple did this deliberately. Somebody decided to do this deliberately. These are well-known rules in the retail sector. And even if they didn't do it deliberately, this still did material harm to people. One can still do harm even if you didn't mean to. And you can still be convicted of a crime for it.

The class action included 21,000 employees - that's more than just a couple of Apple stores, so lots of managers were involved. And what "vendors"? Apple stores are owned by Apple and their workers are employees of Apple.
