Non-compete clauses

Let me get this straight: A worker at McDonald's could be forced to sign a non-compete clause which means they can't take a job at Burger King for a better paycheck? That's absurd.

Yay! Two great defenders of labor: Sen Sanders and Lina Khan, FTC ❤

Bernie ❣️ is the voice of reason.
He is *** real people's voice *** day offer day. Thank you 🙏
Met him once, but love him like a father.

I had to sign something similar to this for a job installing stair handrails for not using the techniques they taught me..
The thing is they didn't teach me anything, and nothing they did was not common practice for decades, in most cases centuries, before their their company even existed.

Ok. No compete clauses are inherently wrong, and are in desperate need of repeal. 😊

OMG enslaved !
But politicians go from government job to well paid corporations positions next day

[anniestumpy]

I Germany 99 % of those clauses would be void for being unethical. Isn't there a "bigger" law in the US that would break those clauses too? That sounds horribly unfair and unjustified.

How does this work for unemployment compensation? You're not expected to take a job you're not trained to do.

To those people who are against regulation. Please realize that corporations do not govern themselves, and if left to themselves do harm workers and our country. The free market does not govern them either. In this example, consumers don't know which companies have these harmful policies.

My friends 18 year old daughter works in a vape shop in Texas and I was told she had to sign a non compete clause and she earns $12 hourly

Lina Khan is, I think, the best appointment Biden made in his administration.

[johnchessant]

We heard it here first, and yesterday, the FTC has officially banned non-compete clauses. Thank you Bernie for focusing our attention on the real issues, when the rest of the media is so easily distracted by irrelevant theatrics.

Non- competes are absolute BS. Ruined my life... twice. Never again.

Good morning Bernie. We need you. Welcome.

Corporations don’t care about the People.

It's a way of keeping wages low so an employee can't leave and go across the road for more $$$$

[jim]

That's wild. Sounds like some companies are using these agreements to make it hard for employees to leave.

[elizabethwade]

I don't agrea with this because what happens if a worker is treated different than another worker are if different pr problems happens to a person cursed out many other things so that wouldn't be fair to that person have to stay in that kind of environment and can't go to a different place to work the same kind of job😢

Problem solved --
McDonald’s line employees do not sign noncompete agreements.

Until three years ago, McDonald’s barred its franchise owners from hiring away staff from other local McDonald’s.

In the years since 2017, McDonalds and over 150 national chains have ended the practice.

Contractors that work for after-school programs like science or chess often have to sign these non-compete deals too
