AG Platkin and AG James announced settlements with Guardian Service Industries, Inc. (“Guardian”), and Planned Building Services, Inc. (“Planned”), as well as Planned’s affiliated companies, concerning the use of illegal no-poach agreements. A joint investigation by the Attorneys General found that Guardian, headquartered in New York, and Planned, headquartered in New Jersey, entered into no-poach agreements with the buildings they contracted with, preventing clients from hiring the companies’ workers. 

“No-poach agreements limit workers’ freedom to advance their careers, restricting their ability to seek better job opportunities and improved wages and benefits in a competitive labor market […] Now more than ever, I remain steadfast in my commitment to fight alongside Attorney General James for workers and put an end to these unjust conditions.” – AG Platkin
