Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

UK basketball transfer Amari Williams ‘a man among boys on the court,’ Mark Pope says

Quick Glance: NFL Coach Compares Caleb Williams to Russell Wilson for Lack of Self-Awareness

An anonymous offensive assistant coach described Williams as giving off a 'Russell Wilson vibe with this lack of self-awareness.'

There was speculation that Williams did not want to play for the Chicago Bears, who hold the first pick.
