Do you have any clue how many tech companies there are out there?

285,000.

And you think you are going to get all of them, to agree to not offer a higher wage?

Don't have to get all of them. Just the largest ones in the area.
You know, the ones that do most of the hiring.

So move out of the area to get a better job

So you really don't understand how workers get paid more in capitalism then.

It was not collusion to keep all their employees wages down as you claim but rather it was about non compete clauses

big difference

No it isn't a big difference. Companies pay less if they don't have to worry about losing workers. You really don't understand how capitalism is supposed to work.

It didn't impact every employee as you were saying

so it was no big deal and they still had to worry about losing people because they could have gone to any one of hundreds of IT companies that exist

Not the largest companies. What they were doing is illegal for a reason. Go learn about capitalism and then come discuss.

The largest companies? Being what, all of them? Every single large company on the face of the planet? Bull crap.

It was all the largest companies in the industry colluding. Are you not following along?

And that did not stop anyone of those whiners from getting a better paying job at any of the other hundred thousands of tech companies

 

[Brain357]

That is it? Seriously? If they were not guilty there would be no huge payout because they would win.

That's it?

The law suit was originally for 3 BILLION and you don't think settling for one one thousandth of that was cheaper?

Of course it was

The question is why did the plaintiffs settle for one one thousandth of their original price if they thought they had a good case?

You really need to work on your math.

Still waiting on your proof. A link suggesting sometimes a company should settle isn't proof of anything.

Really so settling a 3 billion dollar law suit for 300 million is not a good deal

You can't figure out that 300 million is cheaper than 3 billion on your own?
and the recipients of the cash got about one one thousandth of the original asking price why did they settle for so little

So they were guilty and could expect to pay 3 billion at trial?

No they weighed the risk benefit equation

Now unless you answer ny question as to why these people who were so egregiously hurt by these companies settled for so little we are done

Another claim you can't back up.

They received over 400 million. Sounds like a lot to me. What proof do you have that is a small settlement for this kind of case?

Funny how you support illegal activity. It is illegal for a reason. Good to know you are pro crime.

They settled for one cent on the dollar and the people in the suit got a coupe thousand each

So you're saying that these big bad companies only cost these whiners a couple grand in lost wages over several years

Then these companies really didn't suppress any wages did they?

I never said anything about the type of case and the settlement

I said the settlement was a pittance to these companies who are collectively worth 1.3 trillion dollars

You seem to think it hurt the companies. It didn't

Now why did these people settle for 1 cent on the dollar if they were so grievously injured?

There were other considerations as well you're just focusing on one

But in addition to legal fees and the possibility of huge payouts at the end of a trial, companies risk other damages when they fight employment litigation, said Mark Shank of Gruber Hurst Johansen Hail LLP, who refers to such damages as “hassle factors.

That is it? Seriously? If they were not guilty there would be no huge payout because they would win.

Jesus Brian you don't know how that works? It is sometimes cheaper just to pay. Then have shit dragged out in the media and accrue more lwayer fees then just settling out of court.

They don' admit guilt.

One cent on the dollar? Please show your calculation moron.

original damages sought 3 BILLION

Settlement 320 million

excuse me I missed a decimal

10 cents on the dollar

so why settle for 90% less that what you claim were your damages if you were really injured?
