Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) signed onto a letter calling for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to limit non-compete clauses for workers, The Hill reported. Warren and Klobuchar said that the clauses hurt roughly 30 million workers by limiting their abilities to tack on additional work to supplement their income or find new employment in a similar field for a period of time after leaving a job. The letter requested that the FTC respond within 30 days with any action it is taking to curtail the clause. The message came partly in response to a petition signed by more than 60 organizations and individuals for the FTC to ban non-compete clauses.
