This is a proven reality, and has been out in the open for a long time.

Then a few links to those proofs should be easy to produce?

Yeah, I know about that one. Wondered if anything new had come to light.

This was 10 years ago and involved 8 companies.

Concluding from one crime that they all do it, and that's just what those people are like, you can't trust them etc, is an impulse we all do well to resist.

Of course, concluding that nothing like this will ever happen again is also naive. The incentive to cooperate is certainly still there.

My impression is that since the 2010 case, wages have gone up dramatically in that class of companies. There are also more big companies with owners who aren't pals from before. I think. Just guessing, relly.
