Yves Smith — Google, Apple, and Other Tech Titans’ Wage-Suppression Conspiracy Estimated to Cover One Million Workers

And don’t labor under any illusions about who was responsible for the pay-suppression deals. Just like the ADM case, this scheme was conducted at the highest level of the participating firms. As we wrote in January:
The government’s case, as summarized by Mark Ames at Pando, is chock full of damning e-mails among top executives, which reveal Steve Jobs to have been the lead actor and main enforcer of the pay-containment pact, which dates to 2005. But its real mastermind was George Lucas, who had a similar scheme in place in the 1980s and enlisted Jobs when he sold the computer animation division of Lucasfilm to Pixar.
Idols with feet of clay.
