🔥IMPORTANT! #MedTwitter & all workers: the @FTC is proposing to make noncompete clauses illegal. Employers would be prohibited from establishing them & forced to rescind existing ones, incl notifying past employees of the change! 👏👏 @MedicineForward nytimes.com/2023/01/05/bus…
~ 1/5 of US workers are currently under non-compete clauses. They harm workers in many sectors, incl #MedTwitter, e.g., by preventing them from taking a better position w/ another company unless they’re willing to move or travel a long way to work. 2/
#MedTwitter is often subject to noncompete clauses. Here’s why that is so important, even if you’re not a dr yourself: nytimes.com/2019/03/15/bus…

What came out today is a notice of proposed rule making: ftc.gov/news-events/ne…. What comes next is a 60 day public comment period. These comments may be used to revise the proposed rule to a final version. You can submit one here starting tomorrow: ftc.gov/policy/public-…. 4/
Hoping that our #MedTwitter #OncTwitter professional societies will submit public comments in strong support of the FTC’s proposed rule to ban non-compete clauses.
