The US DOJ marked a decade of criminal antitrust enforcement against employer agreements on hiring and wages, with mixed legal success but persistent political backing and corporate compliance shifts. The DOJ maintains a strong stance against naked no-poach and wage-fixing agreements, while courts recognize legitimate collaborations that may involve no-solicit clauses.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of HR Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a stronger legal threat if your hiring practices involve no-poach or wage agreements. Update compliance urgently to avoid DOJ criminal investigations and costly civil antitrust lawsuits.
