Lawsuit accusing Google, Apple, amongst others for fixing wages

Posted in: Adobe,Apple,Intel,Intuit,Lucasfilm,Pixar,Software | May 5th, 2011

A new lawsuit has accused Pixar, Lucasfilm, Intuit, Adobe, Intel, Google, and Apple of conspiring to suppress and fix compensation of their employees. It was launched yesterday by Siddhart Hariharan, a former software engineer at Lucasfilm and it is focusing on the agreements of ‘no solicitation’ that companies in question have agreed between the year 2005 and 2009. It is claiming that the tech companies have violated the California antitrust statues but it isn’t seeking relief under U.S. Clayton Act of 1914 which is quite interesting. This assures that the case is dealing only with California law instead of the federal statues of antitrust.

These accusations might sound familiar and it is because Pixar, Intuit, Intel, Google, Adobe, and Apple settled with Department of Justice last year for an investigation in to the anti competitive solicitation agreements. This lawsuit says DoJ investigaton as wrongdoing evidence. A few companies including Google said that they would be ending the policies of ‘no cold call’.

There are mentions of different relationships and agreements between the companies. It is said that Lucasfilm and Pixar entered in to an agreement which was done to eliminate competition between them for the skilled labor. Pixar had originated from Lucasfilm division which Steve Jobs, the Apple CEO bought in 1986.
