Diverging from Texas Federal Court’s Preliminary Ruling, Pennsylvania Federal Court Declines to Enjoin FTC’s Rule Banning Non-Compete Agreements

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) is now batting .500 in its effort to defend its rule banning most employee non-compete agreements.  On July 23, 2024, Judge Kelley Hodge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania denied the request for a preliminary injunction to block that rule from going into effect pending a full trial.  This decision is at odds with the decision issued earlier this month by Judge Ada Brown of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, which found that the FTC had exceeded its statutory authority and issued a limited preliminary injunction that prevented the rule from becoming effective as to the plaintiffs in that case.

Texas Federal Court Preliminarily Enjoins FTC’s Non-Compete Ban, But Declines to Issue Nationwide Preliminary Injunction

On July 3, 2024, Judge Ada Brown of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas temporarily blocked the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) from enforcing its recent rule banning virtually all employee non-compete agreements in the United States.  In its 33-page opinion, the court ruled that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims that the FTC lacks statutory authority to issue its non-compete ban via rulemaking and that the FTC’s decision to ban non-competes broadly was arbitrary and capricious. However, in a surprise twist, the court declined to grant nationwide preliminary relief, opting instead to limit its injunction to the specific plaintiffs in the action.  The court indicated that it intends to issue a final ruling by August 30, 2024—days before the non-compete ban is scheduled to take effect on September 4.

Crowell & Moring Establishes that an Employer May Unilaterally Exercise Management Rights Implemented after Bargaining Impass

BNA's Daily Labor Report, No. 20, ISSN 1522-5968
A Crowell & Moring team led by Labor & Employment co-chair Jeffrey W. Pagano, with assistance from Herbert Meyer, Glenn Grant and Ira Saxe, successfully argued before the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ("DCCA") on behalf of Mail Contractors of America ("MCA"), and obtained reversal of a decision of the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") that found that MCA had unlawfully refused to bargain regarding a unilateral change of a driver relay point. The right of MCA, the largest U.S. Postal Service depot to depot mail carrier, to unilaterally change the relay point was contained in the Management Rights provision of MCA's final offer, implemented after impasse. The DCCA squarely rejected the NLRB's position that exercise of that right violated the National Labor Relations Act. The Court's Opinion is a landmark decision, and was featured as the lead article in the January 31, 2008 edition of the BNA Daily Labor Report, as it ensures an employer's ability to operate its business without interference of a union after implementation of a final offer.Court Documents:Mail Contractors of America v. NLRB, Nos. 06-1338, 06-1380, 2008 WL 220637 (D.C. Cir. Jan. 29, 2008)
