This is an unconstitutional imposition on the right to contract freely. As a rule it should have no effect. As a law if passed by congress and signed by the president it would be struck down as unconstitutional.

90% of the agencies this government has are illegal (under need and authorization in the Constitution,) IMO.

It is long overdue to generally get rid of noncompetes. Nondisclosures still apply, good luck on most companies enforcing them.

Didn’t come up in search due to different title, but, you are a Biden voter so I didn’t expect you to understand that.

I thought Congress was a Branch of Government, not an appendix.

Thank goodness we have unelected bureaucrats to explain things for us.

The FTC decision is 550 pages of political nonsense. Noncompetes are restraints of trade and I have always been against them except is very limited circumstances, but this decision seems out of place.

So, insults are the rule of the day? Where do you get off calling me a Biden voter? Why don’t you read JR’s guidelines before you continue embarrassing yourself.

I wonder if this applies to a noncompete agreement as part of the sale of a business? It makes much more sense there and I quite reasonable.

“So, insults are the rule of the day? “

You are a registered democrat, aren’t you? And, you hate Trump and you said you would never vote for him, so how is stating what you are an insult?

I happen to also know RENO in real life and know he is a Biden voter and a registered democrat. He comes onto FR to propagandize for the democrats. He, like many other trolls throughout social media, skirts getting zotted by carefully crafting his messages not to get banned while making negative comments about Americans, conservatives, Republicans, and Trump supporters.

Why? Do you equate noncompetes with conservatives?

I generally believe non-competes should be eliminated for many positions, I don’t believe in government bureaucrats making decisions like this. This should be debated by and voted on by our representatives. Unfortunately that may not work though because many of the politicians are bought and paid for.

One example I saw of a non-compete was a $11 and hour security guard could not get another job because of a non-compete. That is an outrageous abuse of such agreements.
