The Federal Trade Commission wants to Ban Noncompete Employment Clauses
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is proposing a ban on noncompete employment clauses that “block workers from freely switching jobs, depriving them of higher wages and better working conditions, and depriving businesses of a talent pool that they need to build and expand” (FTC Chair Lina M.
