Prime Minister Burnham says he will change non-compete rules. These rules are in some job contracts. Non-compete rules can stop workers from working for other companies after they leave. Burnham says the limits have “gone too far.” He wants fewer restrictions. This could help people find new jobs more easily. It may also give workers more freedom to use their skills. The plan is meant to protect workers and make the job market fairer.
