This was news few years back.
Would be great if Dept of Labor got involved and demanded and reviewed records from the time, made them available.
Wasn't Obama President 2009-2016? He didn't want to help America's Workers?

"These secret conversations and agreements between some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley were first exposed in a Department of Justice antitrust investigation launched by the Obama Administration in 2010. That DOJ suit became the basis of a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of over 100,000 tech employees whose wages were artificially lowered — an estimated $9 billion effectively stolen by the high-flying companies from their workers to pad company earnings — in the second half of the 2000s."

So, what was the outcome of Obama's Antitrust investigation? What penalties did Big Tech pay the State?

But what about Hillary?
Show us another hateful picture of Hillary, the more wealth Trump forks over to the top percent, the more people's lives are sacrificed for the top percent, the more we can't get enough of this Hillary and Obama shit.
Fox News, talk radio gives us opinions that make us feel smart, sound worldly and act authoritarian too. --just as if we came across these gems because we read a lot. Heheheh
The outcome was detailed in the same post. It became the basis for a class action suit that was settled for roughly half a billion dollars.
A basis for a class action suit != Government Action.
What did OBAMA do? Did they fine or imprison people under the Labor Laws?
He sicced the Justice Dept on them and had them perform the investigation which uncovered the evidence that allowed the lawsuit to succeed.
Does the State/Local Gov not prosecute murderers because the family sues them for wrongful death? "Oh, well, we gave them all the results of our homicide investigation, the sued and won, so we don't need to file murder charges against the perp"
They also violated multiple federal laws, why didn't Obama's DOJ fine them?
Later that year, Schmidt instructed his Sr VP for Business Operation Shona Brown to keep the pact a secret and only share information "verbally, since I don't want to create a paper trail over which we can be sued later?"
