Reuters: At least two Apple retail store workers complained directly to CEO Tim Cook that the company’s policy of checking retail employees’ bags as a security precaution was embarrassing and demeaning, according to a court filing made public. The employee complaints, which a judge ordered unsealed, are part of a 2013 lawsuit alleging Apple should compensate employees for the time it takes to conduct the searches. One worker told Cook in a 2012 message that Apple managers “are required to treat ‘valued’ employees as criminals.”
