The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) filed a complaint recently alleging that competing railroad equipment manufacturers Knorr-Bremse AG, Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation (Wabtec) and Faiveley Transport S.A. had unlawfully agreed not to recruit or hire each other's skilled employees, thus depriving them of competition for their services. Accompanying the complaint was a consent decree barring such agreements in the future.
