An increasingly common practice in American business involves requiring employees to sign covenants not to compete, usually referred to as "non-competes," with their employers or prospective employers.
Federal safety officials have just made good on one of their promises by issuing a proposed rule that would give a designated union representative the right to accompany an OSHA.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced its proposal of a new rule on January 5, 2023, that would ban employers from imposing noncompete clauses on their workers and invalidate all.
