Does this mean that if a company uses a third-party to help it determine wages it's colluding?

- MobiusHorizons 3y agoI can certainly see ways a third party company could help allow companies to engage in anticompetitive behavior. IANAL, but I expect proof of anticompetitive behavior resulting in harm to workers would need to be demonstrated. For instance if the third party software used previous pay data from a different employer (not disclosed by the applicant) to keep a salary below market rate.
- eek2121 3y agoDepends on the specific scenario.
- Exoristos 3y agoIt means if a company were to use a third party to collude on wages, it's colluding.
- s3p 3y agoNo. The third party is the one colluding in your example, assuming the facts there are the same here: one software vendor, all the companies in a city are using it, software is driving wages in a direction profitable for companies and worse for employees of said company.
