All too often, airlines make passengers navigate a bureaucratic maze of corporate red tape just to get their money back when flights are cancelled or significantly delayed.

Thanks to U.S. Department of Transportation's new rule, airlines will be obliged to automatically pay up.

Jake Tapper had FTC Chair Lina Khan on to talk about the noncompete ban, and had to ask if his own noncompete was no longer valid.

Khan says that when the ban takes effect, not only will new noncompetes be banned, but clauses like his will be rendered null and void.

Grateful for the chance to meet with drivers from across the country and learn about their efforts to organize and tackle challenges they face with gig platforms, from declining pay rates to opaque algorithms to arbitrary suspensions. Thanks to SEIU & 32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽 for convening.

Today at Loyola Law Chicago I talked about a group of Irish American can labelers from Chicago, and two meat processing workers in Arkansas, and why it is so important that we stop mergers that hurt workers. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

FTC is taking aggressive action to protect US manufacturers and consumers. Since 2021 we have:

As Attorney General, my team lead by now-PA Department of Labor & Industry Sec. Nancy Walker successfully got four fast-food franchises to end their use of non-compete agreements in PA.

This FTC decision is a big win for workers and my Administration will work with our federal partners to hold…

This is a major win for workers. Noncompetes have dragged wages down and stifled innovation for far too long. This announcement will unlock new opportunities for workers across the country.

Non-compete agreements are used by employers to force workers to stay with their companies. It hurts workers, stifles competition and makes our economy less dynamic.

This rule empowers American workers and will build a stronger economy for millions of families.

Today, the FTC finalized a rule restricting companies from imposing non-compete clauses in worker contracts. This is a major step that will help millions of people enjoy greater liberty in their professional lives. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

'How people experience freedom in their day-to-day lives often involves their economic relationships...[T]he expansion of noncompete clauses locks workers into existing jobs.'

From my interview with Lina Khan, whose FTC just banned noncompetes.

One of the key staff architects of the FTC’s rule banning noncompetes is Hannah Garden-Monheit. Check out her interview below 👀

FTC Chair Lina Khan defends the agency’s decision to ban noncompete clauses for U.S. workers: 'Getting rid of noncompetes will be good for workers...but it's also going to be good for our economy.' cnb.cx/4bbNrcK

Too many workers can’t make progress in their careers and take jobs with better pay and benefits because of restrictive noncompete clauses.

This new rule from the FTC will ban these restrictions and give workers the freedom to seek and move in to better jobs.

The FTC’s new rule banning noncompete agreements is good for workers and all Americans as it will encourage free and fair competition. Last year, I filed HB 812 to tackle this issue at the state level. Here in NC, I’ll continue to fight for an economy that works for all. #ncpol

A huge victory for workers. Thanks to the FTC & Lina Khan, 30 million Americans will have the freedom to change jobs and receive better wages.

.FTC voting to ban noncompete clauses for workers. Chair @LinaKhanFTC weighed in: 'It's going to mean that if somebody has a good idea, they're able to bring that idea to market rather than being locked up.'
