Senators Warren, Blumenthal and Representatives Jayapal, Kuster, Omar, Beyer and Dozens of Lawmakers Support FTC Proposed Rule to Limit Noncompete Agreements

Press Release

"We urge the agency to resist calls for additional postponement and act quickly to protect as many workers under this rule as possible. This rule is an important step to ending abusive practices in the labor market, and we support the FTC's efforts to give workers the voice, dignity, and power they deserve.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Studies have repeatedly shown that following bans on noncompete agreements, wages went up -- not just for workers under these agreements, but across the board. As President Biden said in his recent State of the Union address, banning noncompete agreements will mean "companies have to compete for workers and pay them what they're worth.'"
