IL Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced a settlement with Midway Staffing Inc. (Midway) that resolves allegations the temporary staffing agency entered into no-poach agreements and engaged in wage fixing with other staffing agencies. This settlement requires Midway to pay $1 million to compensate temporary workers impacted by the unlawful activity. Midway was the last remaining defendant in a lawsuit Raoul’s office filed against three staffing agencies and their client. The settlement with Midway means the litigation is now fully resolved, with the office recovering a total of $5.5 million from all four defendants. “We are pleased to have reached a final resolution that holds the defendants accountable for their unlawful no-poach and wage-fixing practices, and we look forward to distributing funds to the temporary workers harmed by these illegal conspiracies. My office has and will continue to enforce laws that protect workers’ rights to fair wages and opportunities to better provide for their families.” – AG Raoul
