I think there is a lot of context being left out here, and people who were not in the industry during this time period will wonder whether this is legal or whatever. The answer is, no it is not legal and there was a class action lawsuit.
Also, to be clear, the lawsuit was not defending any company's right to hire from anyone they want. The class action lawsuit represented the employees of the companies involved in the anti-competitive behavior.

- edge17 5y agoReally curious what exactly were you expecting to come out of it?
- H8crilA 5y agoA cash penalty is always good, if it's big enough it's capable of making change pretty efficiently. Hits the bosses of the bosses of the bosses, that is the shareholders; then shit rolls down and throws some assholes off the feeder (a "reorg"). In fact there isn't really any other efficient way of making changes to organizations from the outside, other than putting the right people in prison, which would definitely be too much here.
