In our last post, we wrote about several California-based companies that are facing a class-action lawsuit for attempting to fix and suppress the wages of their employees. The companies - Apple, Google, Intel, Adobe, Pixar, Lucasfilm and Intuit - are all in some way related to each other. Each of the companies is either "controlled by Apple's CEO, or a company that shared a member of its board of directors with Apple."

One of the main complaints in the lawsuit details the use of cold calling and information sharing. The companies are facing the lawsuit, in part, because their employment policies explicitly prohibit cold calling. Although the policies can be put in place to prevent companies from poaching each other's most valuable employees, it negatively impacts the employees.

Employees have the right to be paid fair earnings. In order to offer competitive salaries, many large companies conduct market analyses, and compare the salary ranges of their current positions with similar positions and salary ranges available at other companies. This information helps companies compensate their employees fairly, and it also helps employees have an accurate understanding of the benefits available at other companies.

Currently, several California companies are facing allegations that they worked together to fix and suppress the compensation of their employees. The companies named in the class action wage and hour claim include Apple, Google, Intel, Adobe, Pixar, Lucasfilm and Intuit. The companies' actions violate employment laws regarding antitrust, business and unfair competition.
