The people at the top competing companies seem to end up conspiring to suppress wages even when it is illegal and their companies ROI and profits are the highest of any other companies on earth.[1] Adobe, Intel, Google, and Apple were convicted (edit:actually, just paid money to prevent a trial) mainly on the fact that Jobs, Schmidt, and Otellini actually sent emails to each other discussing it that were revealed in discovery. I can imagine wink-wink agreements that would be far harder to successfully prosecute and thus never (edit: threatened to be) brought to trial.

- conanbatt 9y agoAre you suggesting that workers should get together and conspire in return?
- njarboe 9y agoYou mean like a union? Maybe not the best most ethical way to fight back but seemed to work at some level in the past.
- notfromhere 9y agoThat's what unions do, since companies have disproportionate power in negotiations
- conanbatt 9y agoIm implying that two wrongs dont make a right.
