I wanted to see if anyone else has taken or heard of this being against the law. Earlier this year my company had all the sales people take an Antitrust test on line and on our company computers. It went through situations that we may encounter while out in the field like; a lot of common sense type things but some that really made you think.The one i need to know about is this company only sent, say a black rep into black owned shops to get there business when they would only give a small part to the white sales rep calling on the account. He had other accounts to call on also with white owners but when they had or wanted the business of a large black run and owned location they would asks him go in and build sales .While keeping the white rep on the account to get the profits from it.Sales went from say $1000.00 to over $900,000 On this account in 5 months, the commission would be split 75/25 for the white rep getting 75% of profit. In this Antitrust test this was one of the things i think i remember they saying that this could not happen. I wish i could remember the exactly, But i know i was just put in the same situation. Is it breaking some Antitrust Laws?
