Aerospace Companies’ No-Poach Agreements Suppressed Pay Antitrust Complaint

January 7, 2022

This is one of a number of recent antitrust class actions against Raytheon Corporation, its Pratt & Whitney division (P&W), and their outsourcing suppliers, alleging the companies conspired not to hire each other’s skilled aerospace employees. The complaint alleges that such no-poach agreements repress competition, hold down wages, and are illegal under antitrust laws. The plaintiff in this case is named only as John Doe.
