The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has proposed a rule that would ban companies from requiring workers to sign non-compete provisions as well as some training repayment agreements, Reuters reports. The move is designed to support workers who leave their employers to seek better jobs. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has indicated that it will oppose the proposal. Legal challenges are likely to focus on whether Congress clearly authorized the FTC to adopt nationwide bans on what the agency deems anti-competitive practices.
