Judge stops FTC from enforcing ban on non-compete agreements

I haven&#x27;t yet seen an argument for non-competes that applied to non C-suites and wasn&#x27;t already heavily covered by IP law. Is the problem at hand anything more than a cash grab from abusive employers?<p>Back to the chevron thing though, how many of you have ever gotten a parking ticket? Imagine two years after the fact some bureaucrat sent a letter informing you that because of your previous bad decisions you&#x27;re unable to drive. Driving is a privilege, and the state will no longer grant that privilege to you.<p>Is that decision fair? You already went through the court system (or otherwise paid it off (implicitly, often explicitly, pleading guilty)), a judge took the time to judge your misdeeds, and you had some penalty applied, perhaps the max allowed by the law. Now though, some part of the executive branch wants to ignore any judicial action and assert their opinions.<p>Even before this ludicrous supreme court case, that was a thing that happened. A whole office in Minnesota is dedicated to extra-judicial traffic rulings above and beyond what the judge thought was reasonable.<p>I think it&#x27;s wrong. Empower somebody like the FAA to make fast decisions when there are actually lives at stake, but everything else which could reasonably be judged one way or the other should go through somebody capable of judging it (maybe...a judge). Even FAA rulings probably ought to be vetted once they&#x27;re less time sensitive.

I really think federal authorities should start ignoring rulings from Texan judges. The amount of corporate bankruptcy venue shopping alone should tell us the appointment process has corrupted the supposedly impartial nature of the judiciary there

In Europe if you want to force a non-compete you need to pay full salary for the duration, so if someone enforced non compete for 5 years I could sit home and play games while earning salary

I&#x27;ve heard it said that the main difference between being employed and being enslaved is that you can choose your master when you&#x27;re employed.<p>It&#x27;s a bit hyperbolic to be sure, but one does wonder how far we are from going full circle here..

&gt; You might think these things are only a pain for people like me who work in the tech and creative space. You’d be wrong. Employees also locked into their jobs include hairdressers, janitors, security guards, and fast-food workers. Who knew that the ability to say, “Would you like fries with that?” was proprietary? Not me.<p>The Judge says they can&#x27;t enforce their new ban.<p>But does that stop them from trying to stop non-competes using prior law? For example the Sherman Act can cover non-competes. If the FTC started suing hair salons and fast food restaurants under that it might cause enough problems for those businesses that they&#x27;d stop using such agreements.

Question from an outsider:<p>Why is that 95% of the times I see something get stopped or overturned, it is from a court &#x2F; judge in Texas?

The title deserves an award for the most use of negatives.

This article is mostly lifted from a linked articles and is a dupe of yet another article and somehow none of the three saw fit to link to the ruling. Mostly all three are caterwauling about impact without addressing the ruling on its merits which combined with the reluctance to link to the ruling makes me wonder if maybe the legal analysis in it is more compelling than they’d like to admit.

Non-competes are most often an abuse of power. There&#x27;s no legal basis for their existence without due compensation. The FTC change made proper allowances for executives and IP. I think the Texas court ruling is deeply and perhaps criminally flawed.

But non-competes are still illegal i California?

Lol, as far as I know, in my country non-compete agreements, without a serious amount of money involved to pay the worker until the agreement hold, are kind of illegal. Actually, it may be bluntly illegal for good now.

FTC can not make laws. It does not matter how much you want this to be law. It must be passed by Congress.<p>Even then, it wouldn’t hold in intrastate cases since the Commerce clause doesn’t provide for that.
