Non-compete clauses

[@angelikalindenau943]

Ms Khan, thank you for your work!

[@tylerhackner9731]

They shouldn’t exist

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

I had to sign something similar to this for a job installing stair handrails for not using the techniques they taught me.. The thing is they didn't teach me anything, and nothing they did was not common practice for decades, in most cases centuries, before their their company even existed.

[@Semper_Iratus]

Ok. No compete clauses are inherently wrong, and are in desperate need of repeal. 😊

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

You’re right!

[@loisk6186]

Yay! Two great defenders of labor: Sen Sanders and Lina Khan, FTC ❤

[@unpapillon2816]

Bernie ❣️ is the voice of reason. He is *** real people's voice *** day offer day. Thank you 🙏 Met him once, but love him like a father.

[@elizabethwade6477]

He is a good man

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

He is Americas father.

[@steveladner4346]

They would have to take me to court.

[@patricialepadellec7299]

OMG enslaved ! But politicians go from government job to well paid corporations positions next day

[@headishome8452]

We should have one for ppl going from the FDA to private sector for at least 20 years...why?? Because they are promised great paying jobs if they help push thru meds/medical devices etc.

[@jacobniehaus]

They shouldn’t exist.

[@Rosangela161]

Good morning Bernie. We need you. Welcome.

[@michaelriley9884]

Thank you, Bernie

[@MrCreatorCC]

Corporations don’t care about the People.

[@tammylewis2408]

TAX THEM!!! MAKE THEM PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE!!

[@pmfg875]

She’s right about the medical field

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

When I was a hospice nurse, I worked for one hospice provider, and volunteered for another. When the second one found out I worked for the other hospice, they fired me as a volunteer!

[@lindapietrasz8070]

This young lady is pretty smart.

[@selcouth86]

Imagine if sports teams did this.

[@anniestumpy9918]

I Germany 99 % of those clauses would be void for being unethical. Isn't there a "bigger" law in the US that would break those clauses too? That sounds horribly unfair and unjustified.

[@headishome8452]

This is just one of the reasons why ppl shouldn't come to USA. Our laws can't keep up with the greed of corporations. They pay ppl to lobby for things like this......

[@Judess89]

Good morning Everyone❤🗽🙋‍♂️🦅💯✌Good morning Mr Senator Bernie Sanders!🤝💯

[@jim4859]

That's wild. Sounds like some companies are using these agreements to make it hard for employees to leave.

[@tammylewis2408]

or get another job that has better benefits and a better working environment.

[@A3Kr0n]

How does this work for unemployment compensation? You're not expected to take a job you're not trained to do.

[@Sithgazmm]

My friends 18 year old daughter works in a vape shop in Texas and I was told she had to sign a non compete clause and she earns $12 hourly

[@johnchessant3012]

Lina Khan is, I think, the best appointment Biden made in his administration.

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

By a mile.

[@elizabethwade6477]

I don't agrea with this because what happens if a worker is treated different than another worker are if different pr problems happens to a person cursed out many other things so that wouldn't be fair to that person have to stay in that kind of environment and can't go to a different place to work the same kind of job😢

[@turkizno]

exactly, this is locking you in place to the shitty job. it only benefits companies, because they KNOW they have a toxic work environment so the worker is enslaved.

[@amydee9731]

Non- competes are absolute BS. Ruined my life... twice. Never again.

[@gregorybacher2883]

Mickey Ds ? Let's see them enforce that one, eh?

[@weldabar]

To those people who are against regulation. Please realize that corporations do not govern themselves, and if left to themselves do harm workers and our country. The free market does not govern them either. In this example, consumers don't know which companies have these harmful policies.

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

We are in the most unregulated country in the world.

[@CyberCheese392]

Contractors that work for after-school programs like science or chess often have to sign these non-compete deals too

[@jamescostello2558]

It's a way of keeping wages low so an employee can't leave and go across the road for more $$$$

[@barliechoy]

"They own you!" George Carlin

[@jjreilly3]

Problem solved -- McDonald’s line employees do not sign noncompete agreements. Until three years ago, McDonald’s barred its franchise owners from hiring away staff from other local McDonald’s. In the years since 2017, McDonalds and over 150 national chains have ended the practice.

[@PlazDreamweaver]

Good. Now let's make sure ALL industries follow suit.

[@debrasayres-thomen376]

Had one as a consultant.

[@somosjuntosadelante]

My first job was with a landscaping company with no compete clause and if you start a company you have to give him a percentage of the revenue for 2 years 🤣

[@johnchessant3012]

We heard it here first, and yesterday, the FTC has officially banned non-compete clauses. Thank you Bernie for focusing our attention on the real issues, when the rest of the media is so easily distracted by irrelevant theatrics.

[@FirstnameLastname-kn5sw]

Serfs up 🤙🌊 🏄‍♂️

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

Exactly.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

Capitalism is a cult.

[@FirstnameLastname-kn5sw]

​@@aylbdrmadison1051Radical 🤙

[@NancyRode-u9i]

🙋‍♀️yes sir Bernie Sanders

[@tammylewis2408]

We need to ban non-competes, NDAs, and right-to-work agreements, which are bad for former employees looking for work, especially if they are fired without just cause by creating an excuse, such as for petty things not to mention better benefits and better working conditions. It's sad that workers don't have rights; that's why there should be unions.

[@howarddelovitch]

Overt Provisional "error reduction" Actions taken at the behest of the Corporate Entitlement without the human impact being spoken for , or considered. "Real World Exercised" ...I do not think so , these people give no reason for it , but it is Good to See Sen. B. Sanders from the Great State of Vermont , still in the game at ground level , talking with the people who are as well.

[@MrMarinus18]

It's good that Mr. Sanders also brings attention to real governing and not just to the Trump soap.

[@davidlucey1311]

Noncompete clauses are simply a modern attempt at indentured servitude. They like the company store.

[@Inpreesme]

❤

[@PKV-wl3ec]

But corporations believe in the free market 😂

[@erikfreeman2472]

😲

[@BlackhaloZ]

Careful, that's the whole basis for union contracts.

[@nebulousvoid]

One legitimate reason is companies want to protect the investment of time and training without fear that the employee will complete training and take that training to another company.

[@MrFaranox]

They should improve their employee retention then lmao.

[@MrFaranox]

Isn't capitalism based on competition?
