THIS IS AMAZING. FTC just banned noncompete agreements! epi.org/282187 via @EconomicPolicy
And for a comprehensive video on the topic, check out @MorePerfectUS's interview with FTC Chair Lina Khan: x.com/MorePerfectUS/…
And for a comprehensive video on the topic, check out @MorePerfectUS's interview with FTC Chair Lina Khan: x.com/MorePerfectUS/…
"Noncompetes are about reducing competition, full stop. It’s in their name. Noncompetes are bad for workers, bad for consumers, and bad for the broader economy," explains @hshierholz. Read her full statement below: epi.org/press/epi-appl…
More than 1 in 4 private-sector workers are required to enter noncompete agreements as a condition of employment. The economic impact of noncompetes is clear: by keeping workers from finding better opportunities, they reduce wages and reduce the formation of new firms.
Today, the Federal Trade Commission voted to ban most noncompete clauses in employment contracts! "This is an important step toward empowering U.S. workers," says EPI President @hshierholz: epi.org/press/epi-appl…
Overtime pay is designed to protect workers’ most valuable asset—their time—and to push employers to value it, too. Right now, the extremely low overtime threshold allows employers to exploit workers with no consequences and no cost. The new overtime rule will change that.
This is a really big deal—Biden administration just published a rule giving new overtime protections to 4.3 million workers! epi.org/press/epi-pres…
