i wonder how many progressives will conveniently lose their districts.
iām sure Bowman will be the first, considering his new aipac funded opponentās deputy is on the redistricting committee.
What the hell is wrong with NY Dems
I do agree with non compete agreements in the specific case of really high salaried (500k+) executives after a merger or takeover has taken place. If company A buys company B, you donāt want the executives from company B leaving and starting company C and bringing along with them all the former employees from company B.
Is there a good public policy reason that we need to defend company A here? Are mergers and aquisitions in the public interest? Are they more important than worker rights?
You must have forgotten that corporations are people and people have human rights.
And letās be honest, the corporations are the best people and deserve the best rights of them all.

l think itās something along the lines of āWell businesses will do less innovative stuff if some employee can just steal the idea and open up across the streetā. Whether that is a winning argument or not is a different question, but Iām guessing that is more or less how it will go.

Mergers and acquisitions happen, they arenāt always in the negative interest of the public. Sometimes capitalism works out and a more successful company is in the interest of the public.
Iām trying to think of a situation where non compete clauses are correct and itās pretty much always going to be in situations where something is acquired, that should be part of the negotiations and the acquiring company usually pays a premium so that the acquiree canāt just take the money and then form a new company. Having laws against that will hinder any sort of M&A activity.

Often the higher paid employees in a merger get a retention bonus to stay on for a set period of time with the agreement including a non-compete. That seems good for everyone involved and should be enforced.
To me noncompetes seem on so long as both parties in the negotiation have power and can decide if itās worth agreeing to one.
The real harm they cause is when companies force low level employees to sign them and then use that as leverage to prevent them from leaving/negotiating raises.

Thatās my point, a blanket ban on non competes wouldnāt work for these specific situations. They get their retention bonus, but then would have probably have an incentive to leave and poach all the employees they had previously after 2-5 years or whatever and then compete directly against the company that acquired them.

just amazing. good old āgo back to where you came fromā rant from a āprogressiveā dem politician, while taking money from a foreign government.
I think she may actually be referring to the person being affiliated with the Chinese government than being outright racist.
iām assuming itās a continuation of the batshit stuff she was saying the other day. but yesterday it was Russians that were funding protestors. now itās the Chinese that are Hamas. any ceasefire is part of Putinās agenda apparently. meanwhile sheās the one taking pro foreign government money ofcourse.

San Diego Democrats get it done. All it took was a decades-long campaign to flip the city council blue, a ballot initiative to overturn a terrible policy put in place by a one-term councilman turned radio show host (who is now running against my candidate for state assembly), and years worth of lobbying by local unions.
