https://thehill.com/business/4615452-ftc-votes-to-ban-non-compete-agreements/
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted3-2 Tuesday to ban noncompete agreements that prevent tens of millions of employees from working for competitors or starting a competing business after they leave a job. i suspect this will be blocked by a chud federal judge immediately and then struck down by the supreme court for made-up reasons --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ ...

Ive never worked a job where I had to sign a non-compete, but I do remember when I was playing in a band a lot of venues in bigger cities (big enough to have actual contracts with their gigs) included some kind of language prohibiting you from performing within a certain radius of the venue, usually like 50 miles, for a certain period before and after the date of your gig. I imagine those kinds of contracts would not fall under the same category since as performers you arent actually employed by either the venue or the promoter.

I worked at a TV news station and it sucks when you want to leave a bad company and the bosses throw it in your face that you can't work at any of the other news stations in the city, so you're pretty much forced to leave your home and start a new life elsewhere or let the abuse continue. ...

Now ban mandatory arbitration agreements This is what I really really want. The dominance of these "agreements" pisses me off more than almost anything else.

So yeah, this rule is, like so many things that might actually help workers, worth less than the paper it was printed on. But hey, at least the FTC tried, as opposed to actively working to undermine labor rights. Although the logic of the conservative members about how noncompete clauses encourage investment in training and worker retention is fucking laughable.
