In a follow up to our story a few days ago, Newly unsealed documents from Google and Apple further prove their complicity in a secret illegal agreement to limit employees' careers and wages. Some background on this cartel is available in another article covering the US Department of Justice investigation into this matter earlier this week. When these companies were caught red-handed, blatantly breaking the law, the US government intervened on workers' behalf by asking the companies to, in effect, "please stop doing this," but the proposed settlement will only "be in effect" for the next five years.
Go justice!

This is correct, and it is both immoral and illegal, particularly when it is tied to not giving raises in wages (which it was).
Essentially these corporations want a "free market" unfettered by restriction and regulation, but only for the brass. The employees have government protection from wage restriction, so these companies instituted their own.
Don't be evil my eye.
You can't rationally argue somebody out of a position they didn't rationally get into.
