Non-competes shouldn't be a thing for most employees.

  Unemployment in eg the US is fairly low. So you can pick companies which have less stringent non-competes (or non at all).

    Or we could not allow unconscionable contract terms.

    When I go back to the US, I pick states by which have limited non-competes.

      That's a fair point. Competition between states to attract people (and business) is good.

    Limiting yourself to voting with your wallet/feet, while corporations use every trick in the book, is like trying to win at chess using only pawns.

    Jobs on offer are fewer than number of unemployed. Therefore jobs are scarce. Only when there is a vast surplus of jobs will competition do the work. Until then you need regulation.

      And regulators that dont cite "low unemployment" when they raise interest rates.

        They actually do, from time to time.

    Labor rights shouldn’t be governed by employment metrics.
