Most states have right to work and anti-trust laws.

no offense but it's pretty obvious you have no idea what either of those things are.

You are correct. Anti-trust usually deals with price fixing and other types of collusion. I believe right to work usually means that you don't have to join a union as prerequisite to get a job. I don't know if certian states have ever tried to tie the two together when it come to anti-poaching agreements.
The fact that these agreements are not in writing and not publicized leads me to doubt their legality. If something is legal and common business practice, why go through all the trouble to hide it? I'm not talking about agreements between companies and contractors where these agreements are common (company hires the consultant instead of paying the consulting firm), but situations like Ford and GM agreeing not to hire each others employees.
