Why should lawyers enjoy professional autonomy, but not workers? @ABAesq's ban on noncompetes for lawyers cites lawyers' "professional autonomy" in its comments BEFORE "freedom of clients to choose a lawyer," which wasn't part of the initial justification. americanbar.org/groups/profe…

You can escape your noncompete by moving to California.
California non-compete law has just been shaken-up—and the ripples are likely to travel across the country. This blog looks at Senate Bill 699: ow.ly/XjgS50PSuU2
The @FTC's order would prohibit Surescripts from enforcing non-compete agreements with current and former employees.
Why would corp execs and CEO's oppose a noncompete ban they'd personally benefit from? Force of habit? Deferring to corp attys?
@FTC @ewwilkins @BedoyaFTC @MichaelLipsitz @matthewstoller
1/ Why do corp execs oppose a noncompete ban that could increase their own earnings? Do they listen only to their corp's lawyers or GC, who are exempt from noncompetes under @ABAesq rules?

"In just two years, the economy undid about a quarter of the increase in inequality since 1980. Much of that progress ... came from workers’ increased ability — and willingness — to change jobs."
Ban noncompetes so more employees can change jobs! @FTC

What can newly available data from a key @federalreserve survey tell us about the prevalence and effects of #NonCompete agreements? @tyler_boesch, @RyanDNunn, Jacob Lockwood, and @mzabek explore the question in new article.

Lawyers, who exempted themselves from noncompetes under @ABAesq rules, see pay jumps when switching firms. All NY workers may be free to change jobs soon too if @GovKathyHochul signs NY's bill banning noncompetes.

Great news - the NYS Assembly has passed the bill to ban non-compete agreements! Now it's on to the Governor's desk.
Proud to sponsor this bill in the Senate. Thanks to Assemblymember Joyner and the NYS Assembly for advancing this important piece of legislation.

🚨BIG: @NYSenate just passed a statewide ban on restrictive noncompete agreements.👏
@Pat_Garofalo calls it a "hugely important step," applauds @SenSeanRyan's work, and urges the NY Assembly to pass it swiftly!

#NYSenate Bill S3100A, sponsored by @senseanryan, passed (40-21, unofficial). Prohibits non-compete agreements and certain restrictive covenants:

"Abruzzo asked [NLRB] lawyers to send cases to her office involving arguably unlawful noncompetes. Her office could use one of those cases to ask the board to restrict or prohibit the use of noncompetes." - reuters.com/markets/us/nonco…
Non-competes are unlawful because they chill employees from exercising their Section 7 rights which protects employees’ rights to take collective action to improve their working conditions.
ALT White text over a gradient blue background reads, "Non-competes, which cut off workers' employment opportunities, interfere with workers' ability to exercise their labor rights. For example, when workers are restricted by a non-compete: a) they know that they'll have greater difficulty replacing lost income if discharged for exercising their rights to organize and act together to improve their working conditions; b) bargaining power is undermined in the context of lockouts, strikes, and other labor disputes; and c) social ties and solidarity leading to improvements in working conditions are lost as workers scatter to the four winds."
.@FTC to vote next April on noncompete restrictions
NEW scooplet: The FTC is expected to vote next April on the final version of its noncompete ban, according to a person familiar.
The agency had spent a bit more than $500,000 on the effort by late February, according to docs I got through FOIA.

There are likely several reasons, but the one that sticks out is their fear of the growing bipartisan consensus on the need for robust antitrust enforcement. 2/8

Will New York be next to ban noncompetes after Minnesota?
Thank you to @NYSenatorRamos and all our witnesses who testified at today's joint hearing to discuss my bill to ban non-compete agreements.
These agreements are bad for workers, businesses, and New York's economy. Great to see this bill moving forward.
