Escape Your Non-compete

EARN's new tactic helps coworkers escape their noncompetes together BEFORE changing jobs.

[Escape Your Non-compete @EARNoncomps]

Why should lawyers enjoy professional autonomy, but not workers? @ABAesq's ban on noncompetes for lawyers cites lawyers' "professional autonomy" in its comments BEFORE "freedom of clients to choose a lawyer," which wasn't part of the initial justification. https://t.co/azWlvwhewB

You can escape your noncompete by moving to California.

[Covington @CovingtonLLP]

California non-compete law has just been shaken-up—and the ripples are likely to travel across the country. This blog looks at Senate Bill 699: https://t.co/6ZkUROv3rh

@thesnarkmark @sunshinedrunkw1 @AMG_SzN @timshady1982 @patricktheheel In quite a few states, but not all, noncompetes are enforceable against employees terminated w/o cause https://t.co/A6pp1bL30O

The @FTC's order would prohibit Surescripts from enforcing non-compete agreements with current and former employees.

[Elizabeth Wilkins @ewwilkins]

A resolution to a monopolization case in the healthcare industry that ALSO prohibits the use of noncompetes for the company’s workers.

@anonlinegirl @AGUnderwood wanted to hear from NY employees earning <$75K hurt by overreaching noncompetes. May be same under @NewYorkStateAG James: https://t.co/BmiJGFFMtx

Why would corp execs and CEO's oppose a noncompete ban they'd personally benefit from? Force of habit? Deferring to corp attys?
@FTC @ewwilkins @BedoyaFTC @MichaelLipsitz @matthewstoller

[Kevin Johnson @kevinjohnson]

1/ Why do corp execs oppose a noncompete ban that could increase their own earnings? Do they listen only to their corp's lawyers or GC, who are exempt from noncompetes under @ABAesq rules?

"In just two years, the economy undid about a quarter of the increase in inequality since 1980. Much of that progress ... came from workers’ increased ability — and willingness — to change jobs."

Ban noncompetes so more employees can change jobs! @FTC

[Minneapolis Fed @MinneapolisFed]

What can newly available data from a key @federalreserve survey tell us about the prevalence and effects of #NonCompete agreements? @tyler_boesch, @RyanDNunn, Jacob Lockwood, and @mzabek explore the question in new article.

[Escape Your Non-compete @EARNoncomps]

Lawyers, who exempted themselves from noncompetes under @ABAesq rules, see pay jumps when switching firms. All NY workers may be free to change jobs soon too if @GovKathyHochul signs NY's bill banning noncompetes.

Proud we are making Ontario a leader in pro-worker policies in North America.

In #WorkingForWorkers 1, we banned non-compete agreements, one of first to do it. Now others are following.

We will never stop #WorkingForWorkers. More to come...

[Mayor Sean M. Ryan @MayorSeanRyan]

Great news - the NYS Assembly has passed the bill to ban non-compete agreements! Now it's on to the Governor's desk.

Proud to sponsor this bill in the Senate. Thanks to Assemblymember Joyner and the NYS Assembly for advancing this important piece of legislation.

[American Economic Liberties Project @econliberties]

🚨BIG: @NYSenate just passed a statewide ban on restrictive noncompete agreements.👏

@Pat_Garofalo calls it a "hugely important step," applauds @SenSeanRyan's work, and urges the NY Assembly to pass it swiftly!

@NLRBGC @FTC @JusticeATR @NLRB If not @FTC, will @CFPB require that T's & C's of employment, including noncompetes, be included with job postings? Among workers' largest financial decisions, jobs have lowest up-front T's & C's transparency. @CFPBUejio @SenWarren @SecRaimondo

[Escape Your Non-compete @EARNoncomps]

@NLRBGC @FTC @JusticeATR Hope @FTC will extend their Online Advertising Disclosure Guidelines to require that T's & C's of employment, including noncompetes, be included with job postings. @NLRB ruled in '19 that even employee handbooks aren't confidential.

"Abruzzo asked [NLRB] lawyers to send cases to her office involving arguably unlawful noncompetes. Her office could use one of those cases to ask the board to restrict or prohibit the use of noncompetes." - https://t.co/rpWHd2TUZQ

[NLRB General Counsel @NLRBGC]

Non-competes are unlawful because they chill employees from exercising their Section 7 rights which protects employees’ rights to take collective action to improve their working conditions.

.@FTC to vote next April on noncompete restrictions

[Dan Papscun @papscun]

NEW scooplet: The FTC is expected to vote next April on the final version of its noncompete ban, according to a person familiar.

The agency had spent a bit more than $500,000 on the effort by late February, according to docs I got through FOIA.

There are likely several reasons, but the one that sticks out is their fear of the growing bipartisan consensus on the need for robust antitrust enforcement. 2/8

The WSJ Editorial Board has published 63(!) pieces about FTC Chair Lina Khan since June 2021. That’s one every 11 days.

But, why? A thread! 🧵(1/8)

Will New York be next to ban noncompetes after Minnesota?

[Mayor Sean M. Ryan @MayorSeanRyan]

Thank you to @NYSenatorRamos and all our witnesses who testified at today's joint hearing to discuss my bill to ban non-compete agreements.

These agreements are bad for workers, businesses, and New York's economy. Great to see this bill moving forward.
