Re:Massachusetts Governor Announces Plan to Abolish Noncompetes by ghaff on Thursday April 10, 2014 @05:43PM (#7569918)
Most AFAIK. My understanding (IANAL) is that, in Massachusetts for example, it's not that there are laws explicitly allowing non-competes on the books but, rather, that they're supported by common law spelled out through many precedents related to contract law, employment law, etc. I imagine the situation in many other states is similar. California is unusual in that they have specifically limited non-competes by statute.
