Explanation
Statement 1 is correct as a no-poach agreement is an arrangement between rival firms agreeing not to solicit or hire each other's employees. Statement 2 is incorrect because wage-fixing in antitrust terms is an anti-competitive agreement among competing employers to collude on compensation caps or benefits, not a government statutory minimum wage policy.
