Right. It upsets me deeply to hear this Old lady who's Wealthy by big white owned companies that she's talking on behalf for is truly questioning the fairness and progress FTC IS MAKING.
Lina Khan is an American national treasure and hero. We need more companions of the common man, woman, and child like Ms. Khan! Ms. Khan is courageous, extremely competent, and caring in her lawful support for actual citizens. She properly champions the rights and welfare of people against corporations.
Lina Khan is the best hire in the history of my life. She looks at the numbers and unlike humans, they don’t lie. These babies need to be held accountable. Hopefully she keeps that role for decades
Seems like her fate even with the Harris administration is still undecided, hopefully whoever gets elected agree this is the way to go if the government is not for the people then its clearly for the big corps and it shouldn't be.
I'm a lawyer who has had to deal with non-compete agreements forced on my clients as a condition of employment. I've successfully used state law in several cases to get these clauses invalidated. What is needed though is federal law or a federal administrative rule that prevents employers from using these agreements on widespread scale. They stifle competition and innovation. Non-compete clauses hurt the public as well as the employee. If the courts are here to serve the good of the nation they should not uphold such agreements.
Lina Khan is an impressive person who's doing impressive things that will benefit so many people. I really hope that she is in her position for a long time.
If you are a government employee and CEO doesn't like you, that means you are doing a good job. Competition is good for consumers and the country overall.
They need to push this. I worked for a company in 2022 and cannot work in the 'competing' industry for two more years!! And the 'broad strokes' they use is what is messing with the average worker. For instance, the company I worked for I was not getting any benefits because it was a small startup. AND the partners took most of the 'close to home' jobs, leaving me to get the outliers and random one offs. So I did much more travel and last minute things. Unpredictable. So I decided to apply with a manufacturer that did the same type of thing, but with the brand new systems. Even though the details of the systems were completely different, they considered the non compete valid. Even my old boss said that it was not valid for that transition.. So here I am doing something else for the next two years unless they get this sorted out.
I disliked the question “are you willing to risk the authority of the agency in court”-what is the purpose of saving it if it is NOT being used to protect American citizens? Chairman Khan is doing exactly what she should be with her agency and her authority.
I had to sign a non-compete when I was a window cleaner ffs. There were only two companies to work for at the time but starting your own window cleaning business was pretty cheap, except now I wasn't allowed to do that. It's predatory because where else are people in this field supposed to go, McDonald's? It's absolutely crooked and harmful to the economy and workers.
@@FauxFoe right so you will send a hit man??.. Coz maybe you also didn't keep the customers good enough... You see the problem w her non-compete accusations?? Something does not tick !!
Well done Lina❣️❣️This has completely improved the field of speech-language pathology! As children are often put on year long waitlists and go without services (unable to communicate to familiar family and peers). Companies were exploiting SLPs and families.
Hooray for the FTC!!!! For far too long, the tables have been tilted toward the direction of corporations and their heavy-handed chief legal officials, otherwise known as Chief Legal Counsel or General Counsel. Gotta wonder why lawmakers in Congress never attempted to even remotely address this systemic problem. Perhaps the lobbyists that corporate America has engaged has far too much sway over lawmakers.
I'm a Linaberal. It's incredibly great to see a young brown women making impactful meaningful changes and representating/inspiring, the next generation of young girls all over the country.
President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Trade Commission Act into law to address the problem of monopoly and trusts - large, powerful business conglomerates, and he was a Democrat. Mrs. Lina Khan knows what she is doing.
We need to remember: the government is supposed to function just as she's making it function. Too many people in higher office today are more interested in their Twitter (I mean X) accounts and in yelling at people than getting things done. I actually hope she doesn't run for higher office so she can continue to show Americans what a functioning government looks like.
Khan is not deceiving people / entities to get her way so that description of her is BS. Khan is as straightforward as it gets. Maybe you do not realize that describing an appointed government official as cunning is definitely not a compliment and is a character trait deserving of removal from office.
A RN friend of mine worked for a company for 5 years - she got a promotion to a mid level manager .Where unknowingly she signed a Noncompete hidden in her job description . Six weeks later they fired her because “she wasn’t popular in the office “; She got two weeks notice in her check The company’s Noncompete prevented her from working 200 miles from that company for 2 years ! Her career was damaged and she had to move
I signed a contract that had a non-compete clause but cancelled the non-compete clause in front of the business representative. I did get the contract. They will never lock me down.
non competes should be outlawed as it's anti-competitive, and as she said protection of proprietary information is already covered by non-disclosure agreements (NDA) which are totally separate thing.
Perhaps the dumbest questions I’ve ever heard a reporter ask Lina Khan ever. This was worse than Dana Bash’s interviews on CNN. One can clearly see just how stale the thinking and rationale is of the older and/or conservative minded Americans, particularly Baby Boomers. It sounded as if 60 minutes was bothered by the attempt to quash non-compete so much so they asked essentially “does it make sense to fight this… why not let corps and employers do whatever they want… why must you rock the boat?” I’m fairly certain the Texas court that overthrew it is the same that ultra conservatives regular to overturn or up hold their current policies. It’s a paid for judge who rubber stamps his decisions for them.
That’s the worst part. The only part of the damn Biden administration they should keep around and they’ll get rid of her. I’m hating Harris more and more by the minute.
Mergers, acquisitions, stock buybacks, non-compete employment "agreements" and general market concentrations by larger corporations are enriching the "Executive Class" while squashing competition at the same time. Where is the "Free Market" competition that is supposedly at the core of our economy? We need more Anti Trust action to stop the destruction of our economy by the "too big to fail" predatory corporations.
Blocking Non-Competes for all was the right thing to do. By enacting policies that the working class desperately needs, Lina Khan is not to blame for the future disempowerment of federal agencies. That would be project 2025 and the republicans! I feel like Lesley is being unnecessarily contentious in insisting that Khan should be just as actionless as the democrats because of what "might" happen.
I’m currently under a non compete that would force me to leave my industry if I quit my job. I am not an executive with insider secrets. Furthermore my employer did not teach me most of what I learned. I had to self teach when I took this job and it was a struggle. I’m stuck and feel like I’d be throwing all my skills away if I quit.
I think its easier to force employers to pay employees full salaries for the duration of their non-compete agreements, rather than banning them outright. That way, non-compete only makes sense for strategic employees like the ceo or other senior executives, not bar tenders and waiters.
@@GeorgeSchneider8889 It will limit the exchange of information within the corporation to only trusted members of the organization and stifle growth, quite the opposite would occur.

This woman is perhaps the only silver line of the Biden Administration. Unfortunately, the system will probably chew her out or turn her against the people eventually, but cheering for you Chairwoman Lina.
F the vampire casino crony capitalism we live in, if capitalism is going to survive to any degree it must be strongly regulated. She has my full support to take these exploitative companies to task!
Corporate employee are kept in business that not union for fair wages out side companies, without having law suit against them, that not fair for employees working for wrong companies
It’s interesting the seems to me that the interviewer, is definitely skeptical and unsure of what Lina does. Even though Lina points are really well made. If the Supreme Court does take it up, I am not so hopeful that they would side with the public’s interest though. And that would be extremely disappointing. One part I really want the FTC to investigate ihow META, Google and all these tech giants are abusing our privacy to sell to others. That is abusive and needs to be reeled in.
I’ve signed non compete at pretty much every company I’ve worked for and gave them zero consideration as it’s unenforceable if you’re not a damn CEO or something
She's doing a great job the economy has never been better, I don't know what she is doing but improving the economic life of millions of American Citizen is not it.
So why wouldn't you just go into the political system and ask them if you can come up with a reform that aligns better with jobs that they don't really affect compared to the jobs that have trade secrets
Lesleys rhetoric is so negative and intentionally manipulative, trying to pretend to do a measured and fair segment but in all reality it was just an attempt to steer viewers against Khan or to question their support of her. This interview is not journalism, this was a "soft" hit piece. It was dishonest and manipulative and intentionally so.
"we look at the evidence..." that's where she stands - now for the corporate crowd, you guys sound like the GOP - plenty of name calling & labeling with no real arguments really, so please show your evidence (if you are so confident, pls do it under oath) - go argue with Ms Khan on a Congressional Hearing that you have been treated unfairly or she is just being mean... pls do
This Old White Lady is set with wealth but what about the future non-whites. Hearing the questions she's posing to the FTC chair about what big companies are saying and why they don't like Fair opportunities for everyone to start their own business or leave a sorry Job. This white old lady is definitely a Trump supporter.
She's not "aggressive"; she's protecting the rights of workers to freely choose their employment.

This is why Biden has been such a strong pro-labor President, appointing fighters like Ms. Khan.
One of the best parts of the Biden Admin is the FTC led by Lina Khan. I hope one day she runs for higher office

It’s about time that we remove non-compete clauses for regular lower level employees.
How about we remove it for all employees? And justice for all?
That's why her non-compete cases seemed like made-up social justice protests.
I'm so scared Trump is planning to fire her. I'm so disappointed in my country right now.
She is a very impressive young woman .
I know someone who was forced to retire at an early age and a ptoductive stage because of non compete.
