Apple employees are putting together a  class action lawsuit for not receiving overtime pay. A Lawsuit filed Monday in California seeks class action status alleging that Apple denied technical staffers required overtime pay and meal compensation in violation of state law. Filed in the US District Court for Southern California, the complaint claims that many Apple employees are routinely subjected to working conditions resembling indentured servitude, or 'modern day slaves,' for lack of better words.

Don't bough out yet, guys.  Yew might be sycamore puns, but it maple through, so leaf it to plane along until it beeches itself.

Brilliant, Gill!  I can't root out any more at the moment - my pun reserve has gone to seed.
