Specifically, Ms. Abruzzo claims that such covenants interfere with workers’ rights under Section 7 of the Act, which protects employees’ right to self-organize, join labor organizations, bargain collectively, and “engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.” Thus, Ms. Abruzzo concluded,

Illinois Court Requires Express Delineation of Any Non-Employment Consideration for a Restrictive Covenant

For the last decade, one of the biggest issues in the Illinois noncompete law has been what constitutes adequate consideration for a post-employment restrictive covenant, apart from employment lasting at least two years after the agreement was signed. The “24 month rule” set forth in Fifield v. Premier Dealer Services, Inc.2013 IL App (1st) 120327 has caused much head-scratching, and the Illinois legislature was essentially punted on the issue in the recent amendments to the Illinois Freedom to Work Act, 820 ILCS 90/1, et seq.

Gopher State Goes For Broke with Proposed Non-Compete Ban | Seyfarth Shaw

Minnesota is joining the growing list of state legislatures targeting non-compete agreements, and doing so with one of the most aggressive laws in the nation on the subject. Included as part of the Senate Jobs and Economic Development and Labor Omnibus Budget Bill (SF 3035), the newly enacted Minn. Stats. Section 181.988 (“Section 181.988”) categorically bans non-compete agreements with Minnesota workers subject to a few narrow exceptions. Section 181.988 also takes the approach adopted by Colorado and Washington in prohibiting out-of-state choices of law and forum provisions in employment agreements containing non-compete provisions.
