The Biden administration aims to issue a rule that would ban employers from putting provisions in an employment agreement barring workers from moving to a competitor or starting their own enterprise. The move may greatly impact the healthcare industry.

by Ohio State economist Kurt Lavetti found nearly half of primary care physicians in group practices and 37% of physicians employed at hospitals or free-standing care centers had noncompete agreements.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy listen as President Joe Biden delivers the State of the Union address in the House Chamber of the U.S. Capitol, on Feb. 7.Biden directed the Federal Trade Commission to ban or limit noncompete agreements in 2021 as part of a wider effort to improve competitiveness for workers.

The move by the FTC is expected to draw opposition from companies in a range of sectors. The American Hospital Association along with 100 other industry groups is asking the FTC for more time to formulate a response to its plan given the economic and legal implications it could have. “Many states have enacted negotiated health care-specific noncompete statutes that take into account their unique health care markets and that balance the competing stakeholder interests,” the AMA said in a statement. “The balanced approach of these states must be considered against a proposed universal federal ban on all noncompete agreements.”

Everything this pedo touches turns to garbage

Good Employers should not be able to dictate where workers are able to work or not work

About Time

California and Oklahoma (and one other state) already ban all non-competes.

Where is Biden? Can he speak?

He has no constitutional authority to make such a rule. It will be overturned in half a second. More wasted words.

This would greatly affect the tech industry. I have signed many papers prohibiting myself from moving to a competitor.

How about reporting how much money Biden has made off China! Y'all think Americans can't see through the liberal propaganda.

Long long overdue.

Communism

Sheesh, stop making it difficult to exploit people.
