    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is seeking public comments on a proposed consent agreement with Planned Companies, related to alleged anti-competitive practices. The agreement addresses the use of "No-Hire Agreements" by Planned Companies, which restricted other businesses from hiring their employees, potentially violating competition laws. The proposed order requires Planned Companies to stop enforcing these agreements and inform both their customers and employees that the restrictions are no longer valid. Public comments are open until February 5, 2025, and the FTC will use the feedback to decide whether to finalize the order.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is looking at a company called Planned Companies because they made rules that stopped other people from hiring their workers, which isn't allowed. To fix this, they want Planned Companies to stop doing that and tell everyone it's okay to hire their workers again.

    Reading Time:about 28 minutes

    The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has accepted a proposed consent agreement to address anticompetitive practices by Guardian Service Industries, Inc. The company was found to have used "No-Hire Agreements" that prevented other businesses from hiring its employees, which the FTC claims are unfair methods of competition under federal law. The proposed consent order will make these agreements void and includes measures to inform affected parties. Some FTC commissioners have expressed dissent, arguing that there was insufficient evidence of antitrust violations. The public can submit comments on this proposed agreement until January 6, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The big people at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are making Guardian Service Industries stop using rules that say, "You can't take our workers," because that's not fair. Some people at the FTC don't agree, and they want to hear what other people think about this idea by January 6, 2025.
