DOJ Keeps Losing Antitrust Labor Cases. Why?
Listen now
Description
The Justice Department’s years long push to use antitrust laws to crack down on wage suppression and “no poach” agreements appears to be slowing down, as the department quietly dropped a case against a United Healthcare unit earlier this month, marking the latest in a series of losses and retreats. Joining Pro Say this week is Law360’s senior competition reporter Bryan Koenig, who will break down the steady decline of those enforcement efforts, and the DOJ’s failure to convince a single jury to convict on any labor-related antitrust criminal charges. Also this week, 3M and other manufacturers undo an 11-million member class certification in the sprawling legal fight over “forever chemicals,” and attorneys for Lizzo try to quickly escape a racial bias and harassment suit filed by her backup dancers.
