To sum up: we recently got the awesome FTC instruction that noncompete agreements are disallowed in almost all cases.
Noncompete agreements keep workers from being able to work in their trained field just because they previously worked somewhere else in that field and had to sign a paper to do so. They’re a tool used to harm worker power; traditionally for knowledge workers, but now it’s being used all over the place.
The judge SC said, you can’t ban those. Noncompetes are cool and good. Fuck workers.
EDIT: This was a 5th circuit judge, so not the USSC. A little below that level.
