You know what is one of the stupidest things in America? A lawsuit to enforce a non-compete. In my experience, it's always a bunch of bumsquirt.

You probably thought that "right-to-work" legislation actually protected your "right-to-work", didn't you?
non-competes are very difficult to enforce, BTW. If you have to violate one to get by - frick em, let them try and force it.

So, how do Republicans feel about this? Do you think private contracts between employee and employer are none of the government's business? Or, do you think government should step in to protect the worker?

They could ask you to sign one later, but that could be negotiated and failure to sign could not be used to fire you.

20 years in college ago I took a job at Dominos and they actually wanted me to sign something that said if I quit, all of my unpaid hours that I had already worked would have the wage changed from 5.15 an hour to 2.75 an hour. You think that was enforcible?
I never signed it anyway, morons just hand you a bunch of paperwork to sign and never look at it!

If it were only that simple, hoss.

I saw a post on Facebook about Jimmy Johns requiring their employees to sign a non-compete contract as a condition of employment. This contract forbids the person from working at another sandwich shop for 2 years after they leave.
Why do I find this completely preposterous! So Jimmy Johns thinks their sammiches are equivalent to a top secret weapons program? And I thought I was arrogant.

Good luck enforcing that.
So ... is Jimmy John's gonna track Jerome the Sammich Maker when he stops showing up for work... and then later on gets another job at a Subway in a truck stop ?

Probably not. It would cost more to enforce than it's worth. And any customer can figure out how to make their sandwiches.
They'd go after someone in management--that person would know some of the inside secrets and would have existing relationships with vendors, so they could do a little more damage to the company by working for or starting up a competitor.

Republicans support making it illegal to join a union as a condition of employment. (I.e. right-to-work states)
Anyone should be able to join a union. No one should be forced to pay into a union or join a union.

Non-compete's are just stupid. I have been asked to sign a non-compete 2 different times in my career. I refused both times and still got the job.
Posted on 10/15/14 at 9:43 am to Green Chili Tiger
i have never heard of a non compete actually being enforced. I think its just scare tactics.
