your non-compete isn’t illegal after all (at least not yet)
Remember back in April when the Federal Trade Commission announced it would ban non-compete agreements for most U.S. workers, saying they stifle wages?
That was supposed to become law next month, but yesterday a judge in Texas blocked the new rule, saying the agency lacked the authority to issue the rule.
The FTC is likely to appeal the ruling.
Non-competes are already banned in California, North Dakota, and Oklahoma, and 11 more states and Washington, D.C. prohibit them for hourly wage workers or workers below a salary threshold.
