SAN FRANCISCO — Oracle Corp. is the latest Silicon Valley tech company to be slapped with a lawsuit claiming it illegally restricted hiring.
Oracle conspired with Google Inc. to drive down wages and restrict competition, according to the antitrust suit filed Tuesday in the Northern District of California. Starting in May 2007, the complaint claims, the companies agreed not to pursue the other’s employees as candidates for managerial or other senior positions. Microsoft Corp., Novell Inc. and Sun Microsystems Inc., which Oracle acquired in 2010, were also part of the conspiracy, according to the suit filed by Jeffrey Hogue and Tyler Belong of Hogue Belong in San Diego.
