Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul has expanded his fight against temporary staffing agencies for allegedly using “no poach” agreements to keep workers from getting a better offer from a competitor.
Raoul has filed suit against six staffing agencies and a client, accusing them of colluding in violation of state antitrust laws. The suit in Cook County Circuit Court accuses the client, Hodgkins-based Vee Pak, of acting as a go-between for the agencies and enforcing their agreement not to hire or recruit one another’s workers. Vee Pak does business as Voyant Beauty.
