Today Apple, Google, 5 Others Battle ?No Poach? Conspiracy Case

7 of the world's most powerful tech companies have been accused of forming an antitrust conspiracy to suppress the compensation of their employees by entering into "no poach" agreements. Today, a San Jose judge will hear a motion to dismiss a class action civil lawsuit in which former employees seek damages from defendants Apple, Google, Adobe, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, and Lucasfilm. The damning evidence against the defendants from a 2010 Department of Justice investigation that I first uncovered last week, as well as the plaintiffs' opposition to the defendants' joint motion to dismiss the case indicate there is more than sufficient evidence for the case to proceed towards trial. If the defendants lose to or settle with the class that represents all full-time employees of these companies between 2006 and 2009, tens of thousands of Silicon Valley employees could be compensated.
