  • New York AG Letitia James, New Jersey AG Matthew Platkin, and the FTC settled with building services contractor Guardian Service Industries, Inc. to resolve allegations that it entered into no-poach agreements in violation of state and federal antitrust and consumer protection laws.
  • According to the settlement, Guardian allegedly entered into no-poach agreements with buildings that it contracted with to prevent the buildings from hiring Guardians’ employees who provide services like maintenance, pest control, cleaning, and security.
  • Under the terms of the settlement, Guardian must cancel any existing no-poach agreements, update its standard contracts to remove any no-poach agreements, and is prohibited from entering into any new ones, among other requirements.
