XPO sues YRC for hiring its workers to 'disappropriate trade secrets'
AMERICAN forwarding giant XPO Logistics is suing forwarder YRC for "misappropriating XPO Freight's most valuable trade secrets" by hiring its employees.
XPO alleges that its employees have been hired from its less-than-truckload (LTL) business following its takeover of Con-way to interfere with its contractual non-disclosure obligations.
In a submission that includes a number of complaints, seen by Lloyd's Loading List and filed late last year with Delaware's Court Of Chancery, XPO claimed that YRC had "induced, aided, and abetted current XPO Freight employees in breaching their fiduciary duties, intentionally interfered with the same employees" contractual non-disclosure and non-solicitation obligations and engaged generally in unfair competition".
XPO called for injunctive relief and damages against YRC, including demanding that key employees that YRC recruited from XPO Freight be barred from employment at YRC for at least 12 months.
