Noncompete agreements move deeper into limbo
A federal judge last week backed a challenge to a nationwide ban on the pacts, which restrict workers’ ability to join rival firms. The ruling came days after the Supreme Court gave judges more latitude to challenge federal agencies’ rule-making authority.
That decision, along with an expected ruling on a separate request for an injunction, could set the stage for a legal knot that might take years to resolve, employment lawyers say.

Why does the European Commission allow the exploition of freelancers? The full story: DG COMM every 5 years runs a tender for its project named EDCC (Europe Direct Contact Centre). In 2021 Conectys and ESN won the tender. Conectys found freelancers accross the EU but the job has all the elements of a proper employment contract: workers work from 9AM till 6 PM every day, have to plan annual leave, have strict KPIs to adhere to (answer calls within 30 seconds, citizens' satisfaction rate above 80%, internal quality control above 80%, email are read and evaluated by DG COMM, supervisors have supervision over these freelancers, whio work on continuous basis since 2021 and are paid per minute! We have ALL the elements of a proper eployment. However, Conectys exploits these workers forcing them to work under false self-employment. No annual leave paid, no lunch breaks paid, no social security paid, no sick leave, no maternity leave.There is an ongoing law case on this right now. The Commission has been informed. Do you know what they did? Absolutely nothing. If we therefore follow a very simple logical assumption = the Commission allows the exploition of workers.
