Is this rule a partisan issue?

lotsofpulp 3y ago
I have yet to see a Republican led government advance banning of non competes (or really anything that benefits W-2 workers as a whole) in the last 25 years. Washington (Democrat led), I think, most recently passed a non compete ban for those under a certain salary, but I cannot think of any Republican led states that have advanced such legislation, or espoused views that they want to. It falls in line with similar worker friendly legislation passed by Democrat led states such as longer family leave, paid sick and family leave, higher unemployment benefits, higher minimum wages and minimum salaries for exempt workers, eliminating non tipped minimum wages, and publishing of salary ranges on job listings. Edit to respond to below: Is it partisan in California? If anything, I would have thought the California non compete ban is the most un-partisan issue since it has been in place since 1872, so neither of today's parties would be credited with it.

  I've yet to see this be a partisan issue anywhere.

    If support is along party lines, that makes it a partisan issue.

Tends to be because it's ostensibly pro-labor and one party tends to favor pro-labor policies and the other tends to favor pro-business policies.

Yes. > The vote on the final rule, which fell along party lines, with three Democratic commissioners voting in favor and the agency’s two Republicans voting against https://www.forbes.com/sites/mariagraciasantillanalinares/2024/04/23/most-noncompete-agreements-could-be-banned-after-ftc-vote-but-lawsuits-are-likely/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/mariagraciasantillanalinares/20...

  What about elected officials?

    Is this some kind of weird attempt to ask me to teach you how to do research? You've got the whole Internet in front of you, same as me. Go do your own research and come back when you have a point to make.

    They're still free to change parties.
