Burnham Promises To Curb Non-Compete Rules In Job Contracts

Prime Minister Burnham says he will reduce non-compete rules in job contracts. These clauses often limit what a worker can do after they leave a job. Burnham argues that the restrictions have become too strong. He says they can block people from taking similar work, even when they are not harming their old employer. The government wants to curb these limits and make contracts less strict. Supporters believe this will help workers move more easily between jobs and improve competition between companies. The change could also make it easier for people to build careers without long, unfair barriers.
