Why should lawyers enjoy professional autonomy, but not workers? @ABAesq's ban on noncompetes for lawyers cites lawyers' "professional autonomy" in its comments BEFORE "freedom of clients to choose a lawyer," which wasn't part of the initial justification. americanbar.org/groups/profess…
You can escape your noncompete by moving to California.
California non-compete law has just been shaken-up—and the ripples are likely to travel across the country. This blog looks at Senate Bill 699: ow.ly/XjgS50PSuU2
The @FTC's order would prohibit Surescripts from enforcing non-compete agreements with current and former employees.
A resolution to a monopolization case in the healthcare industry that ALSO prohibits the use of noncompetes for the company’s workers.
Why would corp execs and CEO's oppose a noncompete ban they'd personally benefit from? Force of habit? Deferring to corp attys? @FTC @ewwilkins @BedoyaFTC @MichaelLipsitz @matthewstoller
1/ Why do corp execs oppose a noncompete ban that could increase their own earnings? Do they listen only to their corp's lawyers or GC, who are exempt from noncompetes under @ABAesq rules? bloomberg.com/news/articles/… @SenSeanRyan @GovKathyHochul @BusinessNYS @Partnership4NYC @TechNYC
"In just two years, the economy undid about a quarter of the increase in inequality since 1980. Much of that progress ... came from workers’ increased ability — and willingness — to change jobs." Ban noncompetes so more employees can change jobs! @FTC nytimes.com/2023/07/06/bus…
What can newly available data from a key @federalreserve survey tell us about the prevalence and effects of #NonCompete agreements? @tyler_boesch, @RyanDNunn, Jacob Lockwood, and @mzabek explore the question in new article. bit.ly/3XqWjWC
Lawyers, who exempted themselves from noncompetes under @ABAesq rules, see pay jumps when switching firms. All NY workers may be free to change jobs soon too if @GovKathyHochul signs NY's bill banning noncompetes. @SenSeanRyan @JoinJoyner @ewwilkins wsj.com/articles/on-wa…

Noncompete agreements violate US labor law, official says
A U.S. labor board official on Tuesday said requiring workers to sign agreements not to join competing companies is usually illegal, the latest bid by government regulators to rein in the practice.
Non-competes are unlawful because they chill employees from exercising their Section 7 rights which protects employees’ rights to take collective action to improve their working conditions.
.@FTC to vote next April on noncompete restrictions
NEW scooplet: The FTC is expected to vote next April on the final version of its noncompete ban, according to a person familiar. The agency had spent a bit more than $500,000 on the effort by late February, according to docs I got through FOIA. news.bloomberglaw.com/antitrust/ftc-…
There are likely several reasons, but the one that sticks out is their fear of the growing bipartisan consensus on the need for robust antitrust enforcement. 2/8
