The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) recent ban on noncompete clauses has been discussed in offices, at trade shows, and anywhere business owners gather. The claim by the FTC is that this ban will promote competition and generate more than 8,000 new businesses each year, and allow workers to change jobs at will, even going across the proverbial street and working for a direct competitor.
In this episode of Straight Talk!, Kevin Barton, president of Aviation and Janitorial Operations with Flagship Facility Services in Southlake, Texas, comments on noncomplete clauses. With some 6,000 employees working for Flagship, his perspective adds to the ongoing noncompete clause conversation. Should you be applauding this FTC decision, concerned, or maybe have the viewpoint that it is a “dud” and won’t mean anything?
