      Non-Compete Clauses Are Suffocating American Workers

      Attorneys general from 17 states and the District of Columbia called for the Federal Trade Commission to consider prohibiting employee noncompete, non-solicitation and no-poach agreements. At a minimum, they urged the FTC to consider bans on intra-franchise no-poach agreements, noncompete agreements for low-wage workers and a ban on noncompetes involving “multi-sided platforms” such as human…
