Non-compete agreements are common for CEOs, to prevent competitors from immediately poaching them and sharing all their secrets. However, Jimmy John's also has them for their hourly workers; you cannot work for a competitor for two years after your employment ends. It seems unclear to me why they would be worried about one packing up and working for Subway, but the threat of litigation is enough that I wouldn't want to test it. Amazon had a similar policy for their warehouse workers but ended it after the media called attention to it.
Legislation has been proposed to ban this practice for those making less than $15 an hour, arguing that it prevents labor mobility. Thoughts?
