President Biden Announces Ban on Non-Compete Agreements

Folks, my Administration has announced two new big steps to get American workers a better deal. Let me explain:

First, the Federal Trade Commission is cracking down on "non-compete agreements," contracts that employers use to prevent their workers from changing jobs even if that job will pay a few dollars more, or provide better working conditions.

Workers ought to have the right to choose who they want to work for.

Second, for millions of workers who make less than $58,656, my U.S. Department of Labor is saying you have the right to overtime protections.

If you work extra hours, you deserve extra pay.
