27th Annual Competition Conference
15 Sep - 16 Sep 2023
Session information
Session four - The new frontier of competition law and labour markets
Friday 15 September (1700 - 1815)
Description
Cost of living concerns have helped fuel populist demand for dramatic reform of competition law. A focus on inequality has stirred a debate in the competition community on anticompetitive concerns in labour markets. This session will consider the proposition that competition authorities should use their enforcement powers to prevent the creation of employer monopsony power, for example, through mergers or no-poaching agreements, and the abuse of that power.
