U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in a San Jose, California courtroom on Monday raised ** objections about a $415 million settlement that would end an ongoing Anti-Poaching class-action Lawsuit involving Apple, Google and other large tech companies. Koh rejected a previous $324.5 million settlement last August after one of the plaintiffs in the case objected the deal was too low, according to Reuters.
Tech workers filed the antitrust class-action Lawsuit in 2011 against Apple, Google, Adobe and Intel, alleging that the four companies reached Anti-Poaching agreements that resulted in less job mobility and lower salaries. Apple and Google were accused of signing one of the earliest wage-fixing deals in 2005, although the Anti-Poaching agreements extended far beyond those companies. According to court documents, up to one Million tech employees may have been affected by the agreements.
