End Employer Collusion: Banning Agreements Restricting Job Mobility.
This bill aims to boost worker freedom and competition by outlawing "no-poach" agreements. These are secret deals between companies that prevent them from hiring each other's current or former employees. By removing these barriers, employees gain greater job mobility and leverage to negotiate better wages and working conditions.
Key points
Prohibits employers from entering into or enforcing agreements that restrict the hiring or soliciting of another employer's staff (including franchise and contractor agreements).
Employees harmed by illegal restrictive agreements can sue the employers for actual damages, punitive damages, and legal fees.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is authorized to enforce this ban to ensure fair competition in the labor market.
