The fact that a number of HR directors get together and share salary information, opens them up to charges of collusion to price fix. That may be a clumsy way to state it, but they are doing something that my industry has avoided. The proper way to obtain salary data is to ask third parties to conduct salary surveys for them. This way the HR directors could not be charged with discussing and setting salary policy amongst themselves. I believe this is something that could open them up to litigation if the right party were to challenge.

One other thing they are guilty of is discrimination in their hiring practices, as they discriminate based on age and national origin. And of course, as far as ITAA, who has colluded and conspired to mislead Congress in order to have legislation enacted that would allow them to discriminate, I'd say they'd be guility of conspiracy to deny civil rights under color of law. That, the last time I checked, is a federal offense under US code, and is punishible by up to 10 years in prison. It is in fact a felony.

No need for discussion. Just hire cheap foreign labor. How more simple does it have to be?
