Description

The U.S. Department of Justice has made it clear that some agreements among competing employers regarding workers' salaries or other terms of compensation--so-called "wage-fixing agreements"--may be subject to criminal prosecution. What kind of conduct falls within the scope of wage-fixing? In this episode, hosts Alicia Downey and Blair Matthews talk to Crowell & Moring partner and former senior DOJ prosecutor Ken Dintzer about the latest developments on the wage-fixing front, including the first criminal conviction for wage-fixing won at trial. Listen and learn what business enterprises and their counsel need to know about how to avoid wage-fixing violations in merger due diligence and integration planning, trade association activities, and salary survey participation.

With special guest:

Kenneth Dintzer, Partner, Crowell & Moring LLP

Hosted by:
