The Department of Justice reached a settlement with rail equipment suppliers Knorr-Bremse and Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies (Wabtec) to resolve allegations that these companies had for years maintained unlawful agreements not to compete for each other’s employees.
The lawsuit further alleges that the companies entered into similar agreements—generally referred to as “no-poach” agreements—with rail equipment supplier Faiveley Transport before being acquired by Wabtec in November 2016.
