As expected, the FTC's authority to regulate #noncompete clauses is being #challenged. But there is still a beacon of hope. The Workforce Mobility Act of 2023, a bipartisan bill introduced to Congress on February 1, 2023, offers a promising alternative solution. If enacted, this legislation would prohibit non-compete clauses nationwide, with limited exceptions. Under the bill, employers would be required to display a notice in a conspicuous place, informing employees of their rights. The #FTC and #DepartmentofLabor would oversee enforcement, with the option for private action in federal court. While the FTC's authority may be in question, there is still a beacon of hope. The #WorkforceMobilityAct offers a robust solution to address the harmful effects of non-compete clauses. Let's see what happens!
