ACTION NEEDED
Friend,
Noncompetes depress wages and kill innovation. That's straight from
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan.
Noncompetes restrict 30 million peoples' right to start their own
company or move to a new job. That gives corporations more power over
workers, and less freedom for millions of Americans. It would be a clear
win for workers if the FTC banned noncompetes, but corporations won't
just let it happen. Corporations will fight to protect these anti-worker
noncompetes, so we have to use our collective people power to overcome
their corporate power.
Sign the petition: The FTC must ban noncompetes to protect workers and
innovation!

The 30 million workers subject to exploitative noncompetes span from
tech workers to many in low-wage sectors. President Biden made this
point clear, saying "One in five workers without a college education
is subject to non-compete agreements. They're construction workers,
hotel workers, disproportionately women and women of color." This is a
tool corporations use to pay workers less and restrict their workers'
choices-and increase their corporate profits.
Banning noncompetes could increase worker pay by $300 billion per year
and bolster innovation. We must stand up to the massive corporations and
their lobbyists who will try to stop this.
Add your name to urge the FTC to ban exploitative noncompetes.
