Apple Settles EEOC Lawsuit Over Antisemitic Remarks and Sabbath Accommodation
Apple agreed to pay $150,000 to settle an EEOC lawsuit alleging a Virginia store manager made antisemitic remarks, denied a Jewish employee’s Sabbath scheduling requests, and fired him after he refused work during the Jewish Sabbath. The EEOC suit was resolved nearly a year after filing, and the settlement requires training on religious discrimination and accommodation for certain Northern Virginia retail employees.
