What's the difference between MA and CA? How about that CA has banned non-compete agreements, but MA has not. There was a proposal to ban them earlier this year, but it fizzled. AIM (entrenched industry lobbying firm) seems happy about it, anyway: http://blog.aimnet.org/aim-issueconnect/topic/non-compete-agreements http://blog.aimnet.org/aim-issueconnect/topic/non-compete-ag... http://www.aimnet.org/employer-issues-center/Non_Compete_Agreements.cfm http://www.aimnet.org/employer-issues-center/Non_Compete_Agr... "Proponents often cite California as a warmer, magical place because it bans non-compete agreements. We note however that;  California allows non-competes in certain business circumstances and many California-based companies use non-competes in those circumstances.  Many California based companies use non-compete agreements in other states where they operate, including Massachusetts." Nice... Let's see who's represented on their board: Intel, IBM, EMC, GE, Raytheon, Microsoft, Harpoon Brewery? http://www.aimnet.org/about-aim/board.cfm http://www.aimnet.org/about-aim/board.cfm
