DreamWorks Animation SKG, the Walt Disney Co. and other Hollywood companies are targets of a class-action lawsuit that accuses the animation and visual effects giants of agreeing not to poach each other’s workers.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in San Jose, said the companies “agreed to work together to deprive thousands of workers” of better wages and positions at other firms.
The complaint also names Disney’s Pixar and Lucasfilm Ltd. units, Sony Pictures Animation and Digital Domain 3.0 among the defendants. It accuses the companies of conspiring to fix the wages of animators, digital artists, software engineers and other workers and making “non-solicitation” agreements with each other.
