NLRB General Counsel Believes Most Non-Compete Agreements are Unlawful and Encourages Regional Offices to Submit Relevant Cases that Qualify as Unlawful under Her Analysis

Karen Baillie and Taylor Horn published an alert, “NLRB General Counsel Believes Most Non-Compete Agreements are Unlawful and Encourages Regional Offices to Submit Relevant Cases that Qualify as Unlawful under Her Analysis.”   

National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo recently issued a memorandum stating that most non-compete agreements violate the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Abruzzo’s opinion is not the official opinion of the NLRB itself and does not have the force of the law behind it. However, it will still impact the cases submitted by the NLRB’s regional offices, and may encourage plaintiff’s attorneys to advise their clients to file charges with the NLRB to challenge non-compete agreements.
