    It’s almost like employment needs to be a free market with choice and dignity

      Also, maybe pay and enjoyment could be reasons employees stay…

        And real benefits instead of a fixed healthcare system that profits on necessity.

    Our supreme court is packed with corporate lackeys. As much as I love this, it’ll be overturned. It is a move in the right direction - you should not be allowed to take away someone’s right to move jobs.

      It’s been issued by the FTC. I’m not sure if the courts are the mechanism to challenge this. Maybe in implementation. But not so much in overturning the policy.

        It is the mechanism. They’re already using: news.bloomberglaw.com/…/chamber-of-commerce-sues-…

        A challenge to the FTC rule would ultimately lead to a potential Supreme Court case. The court is currently deciding on a case that could render render this decision moot before it ever gets that far.

        It is the appropriate mechanism. It’s administrative law, and is subject to judicial review of the agency’s conformity with lawful rule making

        And SCOTUS is going to kill chevron deference later this year, which will largely destroy the administrative state and ability for federal agencies to promulgate and enforce regulations

    Don’t get too excited, it’s already being challenged in court and will almost certainly get struck down.

      That would be a shocking change of behavior for them.

      They’ve tried several times with mixed results. Countries that allow cheap labor are generally difficult to deal with and quality is a real problem. Countries with better quality tend to have better labor protection that results in more problems for the company than US employees.
