Judge strikes down Biden administration ban on worker ‘noncompete’ agreements.....

[martybegan]

Those are agreements between media companies, not employees.

Between a person on the radio, i.e. an employee, and the radio company he works with.

Agreements like this between companies themselves would be anti-trust violations.

Yes. When a company quits paying you you owe it nothing, the same with them toward former employees. They have zero loyalty to employees even when they do pay them. There are no corporate ethics, so it's silly to have any towards them. It's a two way street if that is expected.

More baloney.

 

[jbrownson0831]

Where do you get the idea employers keep paying you when you quit???

Some do.

 

[Picaro]

Right wing hypocrites.....
Hahahahahahahahaha nice try dimtard.

lol some tard calling people tards. Hilarious. Reminds me of all the right wingers who babble about 'rich peoplez iz over-taxed!!!' when it's obvious they've never filled out a tax return and hove no idea what they're talking about there either. Just call everybody who says something the Hive schoolyard's useful idiots are told not to say a 'democrat', like they would give a shit what idiots say and jump back on the reservation or something. Fucking idiot.

 

[Picaro]

More baloney.

lol now we see you've never worked for one. Have you ever had a job ever? Or did you just work for Daddy?

 

[Picaro]

Some do.

Name one.

And if they want to enforce a non compete, they should be required to for the term of the non compete.

They don't pay you for the years you are not allowed to work in your field. They just sue your ass off if you dare work in the job you paid for education to perform.

It's modern slavery. Once forced to sign, they will not give you another raise, they will treat you like crap, because they know you can't quit & go elsewhere.

You should never listen to radio shows & believe it's true. Radio told us for years we could become millionaires by spilling hot coffee from McDonalds, so you would vote for tort reform. So now you have no rights against corps.

Then they should regulate that any non-compete includes compensation, not just ban them.

There are always escape clauses in these things.

Please show me a non-compete that is 1) valid and 2) prevents someone from leaving without compensation.

In part it's also a way to screw over green card holders as well, they're essentially slaves and if they quit the companies don't have to pay their way back home.

The 'escape clause' is moving to a right to work state, if you can find one hiring in your field. In Texas for instance those sleazy contracts are unenforceable. You can sign them all day and then tell them to go fuck themselves and go right to work at the next job.

Are Non-Compete Agreements Enforceable in Texas? (2024)

The answer is: Yes, they can be. Texas law makes non-compete agreements enforceable if they are:

1. Accompanied by or part of an otherwise enforceable agreement;
2. Supported by valid consideration (ie. something of value given to the employee), and;
3. Reasonable in time, geographic scope, and activities to be restrained.

If these elements exist a Texas employer may be able to effectively enforce the terms of a non-compete agreement to protect company goodwill and confidential information.

And again confusing a non-disclosure agreement with a labor contract. Not the same thing, and again nobody is paying former employees not to work in a field, so the contracts are worthless and nonenforceable.

A federal judge in Texas on Tuesday barred a U.S. Federal Trade Commission rule from taking effect that would ban agreements commonly signed by workers not to join their employers’ rivals or launch competing businesses.

U.S. District Judge Ada Brown in Dallas said the FTC, which enforces federal antitrust laws, does not have the authority to ban practices it deems unfair methods of competition by adopting broad rules.




Brown had temporarily blocked the rule in July while she considered a bid by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the country’s largest business lobby, and tax service firm Ryan to strike it down entirely. The rule was set to take effect Sept. 4.

Brown in her ruling said that even if the FTC had the power to adopt the rule, the agency had not justified banning virtually all noncompete agreements.

“The Commission’s lack of evidence as to why they chose to impose such a sweeping prohibition ... instead of targeting specific, harmful non-competes, renders the Rule arbitrary and capricious,” wrote Brown, an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump.

FTC spokesperson Victoria Graham said the agency was disappointed with the ruling and is “seriously considering a potential appeal.”

Well now, it looks like killing Chevron is bearing fruit!

The question isn't whether non-competes are bad or not. The question is whether a Democrat controlled federal agency made a ruling way out of their purview for strictly political reasons. And I think we all know the answer to that one.

Don't like non-competes? Lobby your Congress-critter. Make them do their job.

Good ruling.
