That is called 'price fixing' and is very illegal here in the US if it can be proven.

One of my largest competitors, in my field, was caught doing this with a few others and they are still in court after 4 years. We are guessing it will not end very pretty. I know for sure that they have spent way over what they made on that particular product line, in legal fees.
