MA Gov. Wants To Ban Non-Competes; Will It Matter? 97
curtwoodward (2147628) writes "Entrepreneurs in Massachusetts say the state's legal enforcement of non-competition agreements hurts innovation — if you're going to get sued by Big Company X, you're probably not going to leave for a startup in the same industry. But those contracts have powerful supporters, including EMC, which is by far the state's largest tech company. Gov. Deval Patrick is finally picking a side in the debate by introducing his own bill to outlaw non-competes and adopt trade-secrets protections instead. Just one catch: he's a lame duck, and will be out of office in January."

Yeah to the point where all the big players illegally engaged in price fixing and non-poaching agreements.
CA isn't as liberal as you fools think. It's just smoke and mirrors.
