The FTC Just Forced One of the Largest Pest-Control Companies to Stop Using Noncompetes on 18,000 Workers

The Federal Trade Commission has taken a significant step to empower 18,000 workers by forcing a major pest-control company to drop its noncompete clauses. This move highlights the FTC's ongoing commitment to dismantling barriers that prevent employees from seeking new opportunities, even after the nationwide noncompete ban was overturned. The decision is crucial because it underscores the agency's dedication to worker rights and could set a precedent for other industries to follow, potentially leading to broader changes in employment practices nationwide.
