The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), under Chair Lina Khan, has issued a final rule banning most non-compete agreements, historically restricting about one in five U.S. employees. This landmark decision aims to boost competition and worker mobility, affecting an estimated 30 million workers. It has triggered a wave of legal challenges, with business groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce arguing the FTC lacks authority for such a regulation, citing an 89-year-old Supreme Court precedent. The rule is expected to foster higher wages and innovation, particularly in the tech industry.
The FTC's ruling on non-compete agreements will likely face heavy challenges. @mr_podcasting explains why in his latest column for BSM⬇️ https://t.co/DBuoEvsgIT https://t.co/NXVf4q5xeq
