I tend to lean more conservative but I have to say that the government cracking down on this seems like a good thing. I have a hard time seeing how companies creating agreements to help reduce competition for employees is a net good.

However I don't have a great understanding of all the issues at play here, so I may be wrong. Anyone have any experience as to why this is good/bad?

A lot of our client contracts include mutual "no poaching" clauses. Obviously we are a lot smaller, but what determines when this is OK and when it's not?

Govt cannot monitor day-to-day illegal & immoral activities of big corporations. It is better to breakup these corporations into smaller entities to promote competition and solve unemployment crisis.
