In a no-poach agreement, companies agree not to recruit or hire each other’s employees to reduce wages and compensation. No-poach agreements are anticompetitive and violate United States antitrust laws.

The U.S. Department of Justice has indicted six people at six companies for participating in the aerospace no-poach agreement and has stated that the agreement likely hurt thousands of workers employed by multiple companies. The companies currently believed to be involved in the illegal agreement include:

• Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Pratt & Whitney Division
• Agilis Engineering, Inc.
• Belcan Engineering Group, LLC
• Cyient, Inc. (previously known as InfoTech Enterprises Ltd.)
• Parametric Solutions, Inc., and
• QuEST Global Services-NA, Inc.

If you are a current or former engineer or other skilled-labor employee of any of the companies listed above, or another company that provided aerospace engineering or other skilled-worker services to Pratt & Whitney, and would like to discuss your legal rights, please contact William Hoese at whoese@kohnswift.com, Doug Abrahams at dabrahams@kohnswift.com, or Elias Kohn at ekohn@kohnswift.com, or call us at (215) 238-1700.
