FTC Warns 19 Staffing Firms on Potential Anticompetitive Employment Agreements
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued warning letters to 19 for-profit systems and staffing companies regarding concerns over potentially anticompetitive employment agreements. These agreements may violate antitrust laws by restricting employee mobility and suppressing wages, thus impacting the labor market competition in the staffing and systems sectors. The FTC's action signals increased regulatory scrutiny on employment practices that could affect the competitive dynamics within the staffing industry.
