Competition authorities globally are increasingly investigating
concerns in labour markets. Having started in the US and Canada,
this trend has since spread to Europe where a number of authorities
have launched investigations.
Ian Giles and Richard Whish KC discuss why authorities are
interested in labour markets and the competition law issues that
can arise in this area, including no poach agreements, wage fixing
and information sharing concerns.
Their discussion includes a particular focus on developments in
the UK, where the CMA has a number of cases and has published
guidance to help businesses comply, while the CMA's
Microeconomics Unit also recently prepared a detailed research
report on competition and market power in UK labour markets.
