“You don’t have to sabotage anything, just slow down the process”.

BINGO! That’s the way to do it.

No threat. Just an observation. Maintenance is a tricky business.

Extortion, actually, but I know what you mean.

The Soviet workers had it down to a science.

They just did about a quarter of the assigned tasks, checked off the checklists as everything done, and then came back the next day to rinse and repeat.

It wasn’t quite sabotage, it was more like negligence....

No one is talking about your scenario. It’s called slowing things down. The UAW. understands.

I remember that. Thanks.

Slave labor in German war plants did all sorts of things that hurt the German war effort. They were good at it, too.

Of course they are enforced after you leave but only under certain circumstances. Once payment stops you have been laid off and that is when non-competes stop. USSC ruled that the company then no longer finds value in your services and non-competes fall apart. Non-competes usually accompany severance packages that stipulate continued non-compete agreements, but when you are laid off they company has no grounds to enforce the agreement. BTDT, got the t-shirt.

I don’t feel like being your legal researcher tonight. Go find it yourself. This isn’t a thread for legal research. Nerd.

Nevada voided non-compete agreements for hourly employees on October 1, 2021. They no longer apply. Not sure if other states have done the same.

It doesn’t work that way. You were the one who made the claim, so you have the obligation to show that the claim is accurate.

You simply can’t produce something that doesn’t exist.

It does work that way. You’re just an immature little girl with boundary issues and poor impulse control who is having a meltdown because someone didn’t have information at their fingertips on your demand. Grow up, Sunshine.

No. You made the claim. A person who makes the claim has the obligation to show that the claim is correct.

I’m not melting down at all.

I’m calling you out for playing internet lawyer and lying about what the law is.

All these companies going into hysterics or bankruptcy because they fired their very own employees is the absolute height of absurdity.

Actually, the fact that they did this because a corrupt, demented old geezer told them to might be even more absurd.

This is where the union members find out they've been fleeced for dues all these years. As a union, they need to all go out on strike; either all can work or none will work.

...because if they can force the Jim Jones Jab on union members as a condition of their employment, they can force ANYTHING.

So that no one here is led astray by clowns playing internet lawyer.

With minor exceptions, non-compete clauses are almost exclusively matter of State law. The Supreme Court has rarely had the opportunity to decide any case involving employment non-compete provisions.

Here is a pretty good summary of non-compete after a layoff and the lay of the land as to what the law actually is:

The sabotage I heard of was more nuanced. They would remove the pins in a plug and move them around. And airplanes have hundreds of plugs (sparkies call them cannon plugs). A real bitch to find.

Looks like United is trying to retain their employment without paying them.
