FTC just announces facially unconstitutional action

How are private equity groups going to structure their deals with owners now? Or any buyouts for that matter.

Declares non-competition clauses/agreements illegal.

Unconstitutional on its face.

I missed the part where this is in the Constitution.
Lawsuits will have to be filed for an injunction, right?

I've refused every no-compete clause shoved in my face since 2005.
However,
The pussies that signed em should be forced to live by them, just like all you student-loan-ridden-tranny-studies-degree-genderfroot-grads.

FTC,

I have a few takes on this:
1. This is a clear overreach of the FTC’s authority. With that said, it could be argued that non-compete clauses which extend across state lines could be interpreted as impediments to interstate commerce. In which case, Congress could potentially legislate rules governing them.

2. The enforceability of a non-compete clause which is signed by an employee as a condition of employment should be zero, but this should be regulated at the state level.

3. Business owners should be allowed to negotiate enforceable non-compete clauses in agreements to sell land or businesses.

4. Businesses should be permitted to enforce contracts which bar former employees from soliciting clients with whom they worked at said business, but only for a designated time period. Personally, I would say no longer than 2 years, but I would leave it up to states to decide that.

5. Such a ban should not include agreements reached via collective bargaining.

6. This is nothing but a campaign hail mary to try and give Biden some pro-workers bulletin board material.
