July 22, 2021: Biden Takes Aim at Poaching Clauses

Listen Later

While it’s easy to mix up the restaurants you dine at, it’s not so easy to switch up the restaurants you work at. That is, until President Biden signed orders giving restaurant workers more freedom to change between jobs.

On this episode of the Happy Mouth podcast, chef Nyesha Arrington and restaurateur Philip Camino explain what a poaching clause is and discuss Biden’s hopes that targeting these restrictions will help boost market competition.

Listen to Philip and Nyesha discuss poaching clauses:

  • Biden is specifically targeting anti-poaching agreements.
  • A new executive order will allow restaurant workers to take on certain jobs without being as restricted, allowing employees to change jobs more freely.
  • The government will be limiting how much a restaurant or other employers can restrict their workers legally from hopping over to a competitor.
  • Biden is hoping to boost competition in the market.
  • The White House also declared that eliminating the non-competes and anti-poaching clauses were a top priority of the bill.
  • This bill comes as one of 72 policy changes that Biden has made in order to foster greater competition and drive prices down.
