The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will hold a virtual workshop focused on employee noncompete agreements, due to expected inclement weather. The event will feature public statements from FTC Commissioners, individuals who have experienced unfair and anticompetitive noncompete agreements, and experts in the field. A complete agenda and list of speakers will be provided before the event.
This workshop is part of the Trump-Vance FTC’s ongoing efforts to address the negative effects of noncompete agreements on American workers and inform businesses about its current enforcement priorities. According to the FTC, this initiative follows a recent enforcement action that eliminated restrictive and anticompetitive noncompete agreements. The agency has also sent letters to healthcare companies urging them to review and remove any anticompetitive noncompete clauses they may have in place. Additionally, the FTC has issued a broad request for information seeking tips that could lead to further enforcement actions.
A livestream link for the event will be available on the morning of the workshop for those wishing to attend virtually.
