The FTC has voted in favor of adopting a historic ban on noncompete agreements

The agency has said that the agreements, in which workers are forbidden from seeking a job with a competing business for a certain period of time, lead to an “unfair method of competition” and violate federal law
The FTC Just Banned Noncompete Agreements And It's A Huge Deal
Commissioners approved the historic regulation on the grounds that noncompetes stifle competition for workers. A legal challenge is all but certain.

Do you like coffee and local politics?

Then join me on Saturday from 8-10am at St. Elmo's (2300 Mt. Vernon Ave.) for a casual conversation - no speeches - over a delicious cup of coffee. The only hard questions are: hot or iced? Do you want room for cream?
