The lawsuit, Granata v. Pratt & Whitney et al., claims the aerospace defendants entered into unlawful agreements “to restrain competition in the labor markets in which they compete for employees—principally engineers and other skilled employees in the aerospace industry.” “Unlawful no-poach agreements – where employers agree not to solicit, hire, or otherwise compete for employees – hurt employees by suppressing their compensation, benefits, and ability to improve their employment opportunities by moving to another job,” said attorney David Slossberg. “In this case, thousands of employees were adversely impacted by Defendants’ conduct.”
