The Federal Trade Commission narrowly voted Tuesday to ban nearly all noncompetes, employment agreements that typically prevent workers from joining competing businesses or launching ones of their own.
Is it controversial? The only support I’ve heard for them comes from corps, sleazy executives looking to control their employees. Everyone else is like”meh, clearly unfair and should be illegal but I can’t do anything about it and still have a job”
From the article it’s getting very heavily opposed by the chamber of commerce, so
Maybe not controversial among, like, people, but
Another commenter in this thread noted that the chamber of commerce is just a right wing lobby group, completely separate to the department of commerce. Not sure if you know that already, but I think it basically aligns to the view of the comment you replied to.
Yeah. Mine did too, in that they’re not, like, people. But it’s controversial as far as lawmakers and judges go
I think my point was that the chamber of commerce are not lawmakers or judges, but people representing corporate interests
Gotcha, yeah. I get that. They’re just lobbying the lawmakers and cetera, causing controversy.
