US: Former Google exec, current Facebook COO Sandberg may testify against former employer
Sheryl Sandberg, former vice president of global sales and operations at Google and current Chief Operating Officer at Facebook is reportedly being tapped for a case against tech giants including Google, Apple and Intel. The case is a civil suit filed in 2011 by five workers claiming the companies made non-poaching agreements, colluding to agree not to hire each others employees to keep wages down. While the case has not yet been certified as a class action, US District Judge Lucy H. Koh will preside over the case in which court filings included Sandberg’s employment agreement with Google. Sandberg is not named as a defendant in the case.
