AdC issues sanctioning decision for anticompetitive agreement in the labor market for the first time* The AdC has sanctioned for the first time in Portugal an anti-competitive practice in the labor market. In this case, the 31 sports companies participating in the 2019/2020 edition of the First and Second Leagues and the Portuguese Professional Football League (LPFP) were sanctioned for having entered into a competition restrictive agreement preventing the recruitment by First and Second League clubs of players who unilaterally terminated their employment contract invoking issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Known as 'no-poach' agreements, these are horizontal agreements between companies, whereby they agree not to hire or make spontaneous offers to each other’s workers.
