Intuit Settles Antitrust Suit Over No-Hire Agreement
This article is for subscribers only.
Intuit Inc. settled a lawsuit alleging it and five other companies violated U.S. antitrust law by agreeing with competitors not to recruit one another’s employees.
The lawsuit is a private action on behalf of employees that mirrors claims the companies settled with the U.S. Justice Department in 2010. Plaintiffs lawyers have argued that more than 160,000 employees, from engineers to sous chefs, had their incomes held down by the companies’ agreements not to recruit one another’s workers.
