Yes, put an end to noncompete "agreements"

The rich man always has his whimpering, simpering propagandists proclaiming the supposedly unbeatable glories of market "freedom." Well, let's see them start living up to that.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a proposal Thursday to ban employers from imposing noncompete clauses on workers, preventing them from moving to a competing business or even starting their own business after leaving a job. If you’re reading that and imagining that these apply to high-level developers or researchers in deep with proprietary technology, think again. One in 5 workers in the U.S. is subject to a noncompete clause, according to the FTC, coming to around 30 million workers. That’s not a legitimate business practice to protect trade secrets. It’s a strategy to control workers. - Daily Kos
