Fwiw, my understanding is that in right to work states a noncompete CANNOT prevent you from earning a living in your field. The clauses have to be defined as very specific, time limited and reasonable otherwise they don't hold up under legal scrutiny.
Stuff like, not being able to take current customers to a competing business within a mile for a period of 1 year is considered reasonable.
- howard941 10y agoInsofar as Florida (Floriduh), a "right to work" state is concerned, this is sadly not correct. Most non-competes are enforceable here :( IAAL but IANYL.

- siegel 10y agoSadly, "right to work" laws have absolutely nothing to do with non-compete enforceability.
- wikibob 10y agoRight to work is very often misunderstood. Right to work has nothing to do with noncompete contracts. It means that you cannot be forced to join a union. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law
- danny_taco 10y agoI think you are confusing right to work with at will employment.
- brightball 10y agoThat might be it.
