Apple to Pay $30 Million Over Store Workers' Security Checks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Bloomberg) -- Apple Inc. agreed to pay $29.9 million to employees at its stores who were forced to submit to security bag checks -- off the clock -- when they left work after or during their shifts.

Lawyers for the workers asked a federal judge on Friday to approve the settlement, which was reached after a protracted eight-year legal battle.

Apple Store employees filed the class-action lawsuit in 2013, claiming the company was violating California law by not paying them for the time it took to check their bags.

Apple claimed the bag searches were necessary to make sure workers were not hiding stolen electronic devices in their bags and argued in court that anyone who didn’t like the policy could choose not to bring bags to work.

1. So my question is,

this being a class action suit, and after legal fees, court costs, and such, how much did each employee get?

I've been under the impression for years that the only ones who win in a class action lawsuit are the lawyers.

3. From the linked article:

The lawsuit only covered workers at California’s 52 Apple stores. The class includes 14,683 workers; each will get $1,286 from the settlement, the lawyers said in the court filing.
