Minnesota ban on ‘shadow non-competes’ effective starting this week

A new Minnesota law, effective July 1, prohibits businesses from making ‘shadow non-compete’ agreements, closing a loophole in a law passed last year.

KEYC

Not everyone was a fan of the non-compete ban, this year or last. Republicans and other proponents of the clauses said they help prevent trained employees and their skills from being poached by competitors.

Wah! Pay people better and treat them like real people and they won’t need to be poached.

What’s hilarious is that they don’t really do all that much training anymore.

They just hire people who already have the skills. or tell people to “figure it out”. They might pay you to go to a conference or something to improve skills… if those skills are hard to come by. It’s a cost benefit analysis, and new-hires are generally cheaper.

they help prevent trained employees and their skills from being poached given optimal pay according to market forces by competitors.

This is fundamentally an anti-free-market opinion. But Republicans don’t care about markets, they care about corporations.

That’s the Free Market. Your skills to the highest bidder. Where are their strong libertarian values lol?
