The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) new rules barring non-compete agreements for most workers is facing a third legal challenge. A tax services firm and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, among others, have sued the FTC in Texas, and a federal judge has temporarily blocked the agency's ban pending outcome of that case. A Florida retirement community has challenged the rule, arguing it would harm its business model. And a Pennsylvania tree service has sued, contending the ban infringes on states’ rights to regulate employment laws. The cases are pending in the three states and could reach the U.S. Supreme Court, Knoxville News Net reports.
