Didn't apple stores recently lose a lawsuit for essentially the same thing?

I'm extremely on the side of workers being victims of wage theft, but according to the article the employee was paid an hourly rate of $46, if the rate had been negotiated to be like $42 but they paid the extra minutes spent booting the computer and the total pay worked out the same, would anything be meaningfully different?

I mean, part of the implication here is that people are working more than 8 hours a day, which doesn't seem great, but I'm not sure how I feel about whether or not people should be able to agree to employments that require more than 8 hours a day.
