Nothing about this is a surprise to a long-term unemployed person. Like me. This is the system. By maintaining a pool of desperation, employers, corporations, and businesses are able to drive workers to accept lower wages. There are, of course, some protections against driving wages beyond liveability, but as we've seen, those protections are eroded over time or worked around by stimagtising unemployment and eroding social safety nets.

Boss wants you to sign a noncompete? Do you know what a nondisparagement clause does? How about the dreaded NDA? Read our latest blog post to find out what these are and how they may be changing. #workplacelawyer #workersrights #noncompete #syracuse

"New York could become the latest state in the U.S. to ban noncompete agreements. A bill passed the state's Assembly earlier this week and is now on the governor's desk."

#Employee #NonCompete Agreements Are Illegal, #NLRB Lawyer Says
The general counsel of the #NationalLaborRelationsBoard says that non-compete provisions are “overbroad” and violate workers’ rights, specifically because of how they impact #unionization. https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7zbjx/employee-non-compete-agreements-are-illegal-nlrb-lawyer-says

A "right" is something that belongs to someone even if it is taken away. What we do with our labor never belonged to any business. Maybe they claimed the "ability" to exploit us without legal consequences, but they never had the right. #NonCompete #FTC #labor #exploitation #capitalism

This is one of the best op-docs I've seen from the NYT:

"She was hired in the summer of 2021, at an hourly rate of $15.
When Ms. Rivard spoke to her managers, she was told that if she left for another station anywhere in the country before her contract expired this year, they could sue her". #NonCompete https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/03/business/economy/noncompete-clauses-broadcast-news.html

This is big.

FTC Seeks to Ban Employee Non-Competes

Employers say they need non-compete agreements. Their actions (i.e., "putting their literal money where their mouths are") say quite the opposite. https://slate.com/business/2023/03/noncompete-clauses-washington-research-ban-ftc.html #NonCompete NonCompeteAgreements #employers #work #WorkersRights

proposed rule making on noncompete agreements, not yet incorporated into law by the FTC

At least in Michigan, they are enforceable in some circumstances, and lawyers are standing by to help your command write them up!

A 2015 study referred to Michigan's policy as "regional disadvantage", with skilled workers moving out of state as a consequence.

Banning noncompete clauses would be an economic game changer

@lawprofblawg It depends on the governing law and jurisdiction. Under Turkish law, if you terminate your contract on just causes or if your employer terminates your contract on unjust causes, you are no longer bound by your non-compete agreement.

Civil law jurisdictions generally provide more protection to the weak side of a contract, like employees, consumers, tenants, etc.

Just talked to a nephrologist who is waiting out an EIGHT YEAR #noncompete with the group they left. There’s nuance to the noncompete discussion but eight years is ridiculous and indefensible.
