On Tuesday, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a religious discrimination lawsuit against Apple. The agency believes Apple Reston, located in Virginia, violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The employee in question had worked for Apple for 16 years as an Apple Genius. The EEOC’s press release notes that the employee had consistently received positive performance reviews.
