This is a libertarian policy that is actually good for workers, but the legal enforceability of non-compete clauses has always been dubious at best (courts really don’t want to handle what they view as HR contract fuck-ups), so this is less of a straight up win as it is a solidification of a previously wiggly legal policy.
I’ve seen a ban on noncompete agreements cited as one of the reasons Silicon Valley came up in California. Companies can poach talent and get going. Good for workers too since you get paid more for having that knowledge
In other places like Michigan, if you work for Ford there are much stricter limitations on what you can do afterwards

This is good and could become effective. This is the law right now in California and has been for some time. Companies HATE it and they have fought it a lot, but it remains the general rule and law. So it could become something on a federal level.
