Just FYI that’s not what right to work is. You’re talking about at will employment. Right to work means they can’t make you join the union.

  Thanks. I mean the laws and precedent that made it clear my non compete is unenforceable based on the idea that I have a right to... work. Oh hey and there’s the name right there!

I wish non-competes being unenforceable had a pithy associated phrase, but it doesn't. There are nuances to non-competes that sometimes get glossed over, such as non-solicitation of customers and co-workers. I believe those types of clauses are enforceable in CA. Oddly enough, the union neutering that is encoded as "right to work" is usually cited as a factor that makes a state more "business friendly", and so are enforceable non-competes.

      can-compete state/province?

        ... maybe. Doesn't seem quite right, but perhaps it just needs to grow on me for a bit. It does potentially allude to making the state/province more competitive with other regions, which is a plus for neutering the "business-friendly" framing.

    Yes, the term is intentionally misleading in an attempt to get people to vote against their best interests
