Antitrust Enforcement in Labor Markets

Antitrust enforcers around the world are forecasting vigorous antitrust enforcement in labor markets, particularly with respect to so-called “no poach” agreements (no-hire or nonsolicitation agreements), wage-fixing agreements, and unlawful information sharing among employers. In December 2021, the US Department of Justice and US Federal Trade Commission held a joint workshop discussing efforts to promote competitive labor markets and worker mobility, with the promise to make labor market competition a continued enforcement priority. Outside the United States, enforcers have opened labor market investigations and/or issued new guidelines or statements on enforcement in this area.

Please join partners from the Morgan Lewis antitrust and competition and labor and employment practices for a webinar discussing the legal considerations and issues for global employers to monitor as these enforcement actions take shape.

TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

• No-poach litigation and enforcement in the US
• Criminal enforcement issues
• EU, and other international developments
• Whistleblower retaliation
