In a recent interview with 60 Minutes, Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan expressed her determination to continue fighting against non-compete agreements. Khan stated that the agency believes it has the authority to ban these agreements and is willing to defend its case in court.
Non-compete agreements have long been a controversial issue, with critics arguing that they stifle competition and limit job mobility for workers. Khan and the FTC are pushing back against these agreements, which are often used by employers to prevent employees from leaving for a competitor.
With the backing of the FTC, Khan is determined to challenge the legality of non-compete agreements and make a case for banning them altogether. The agency’s efforts could have significant implications for workers’ rights and the overall competitiveness of the job market.

The segment is a complete fraud and amateur journalism. These claims are REALY EASY to prove using the financial statements of all these big food companies. They are all public. Graph out the price gauging profits of these food companies. Grocery stores are one of the lowest-margin businesses.
I like her
Imagine if the government actually charged corporations their 30% and they actually paid it. We would all be living in utopia.
Khan is amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
I disliked the question “are you willing to risk the authority of the agency in court”—what is the purpose of saving it if it is NOT being used to protect American citizens? Chairman Khan is doing exactly what she should be with her agency and her authority.
This Old White Lady is set with wealth but what about the future non-whites. Hearing the questions she's posing to the FTC chair about what big companies are saying and why they don't like Fair opportunities for everyone to start their own business or leave a sorry Job. This white old lady is definitely a Trump supporter.
Remember America is sitting on Stolen Land.
These non competes will sadly probably not make it past the SICOTUS: Special Interests Court of the United States.
The owners of this world bought the supreme court and they now therefore control it.
Speak softly and carry a big stick Lina!!!
Are non-competes anti-competitive? Hmmmm? 🤔 sorry guys, if you want FREE market capitalism you have to be ok with competition!!! Free market 101.
When Harris wins, they need to keep her.
I’m currently under a non compete that would force me to leave my industry if I quit my job. I am not an executive with insider secrets. Furthermore my employer did not teach me most of what I learned. I had to self teach when I took this job and it was a struggle. I’m stuck and feel like I’d be throwing all my skills away if I quit.
Non-competes enhance Innovation.
Fostering hubs of Intellectual application.
It is a way to passive condolidate Development.
Why not have Congress ban them? That way, you avoid the fight over authority.
Typical Lib. Legalized harassment.
Rock on and give the FTC more funding to fix economy!
Thank God for her!!!
thats a future president mark my words
It’s interesting the seems to me that the interviewer, is definitely skeptical and unsure of what Lina does. Even though Lina points are really well made.
If the Supreme Court does take it up, I am not so hopeful that they would side with the public’s interest though. And that would be extremely disappointing.
One part I really want the FTC to investigate ihow META, Google and all these tech giants are abusing our privacy to sell to others. That is abusive and needs to be reeled in.
Hell yes. Thank you
A RN friend of mine worked for a company for 5 years – she got a promotion to a mid level manager .Where unknowingly she signed a Noncompete hidden in her job description . Six weeks later they fired her because “she wasn’t popular in the office “; She got two weeks notice in her check The company’s Noncompete prevented her from working 200 miles from that company for 2 years ! Her career was damaged and she had to move
💙Kamala Harris Needs to Keep Lina Kahn for the People 💙
Lina Khan ❤❤❤
@PresidenteHarris 🤝 @LinaKhan 🇺🇲
Right On!!!!
F the vampire casino crony capitalism we live in, if capitalism is going to survive to any degree it must be strongly regulated. She has my full support to take these exploitative companies to task!
She is amazing! Please Kamala keep her
Lesleys rhetoric is so negative and intentionally manipulative, trying to pretend to do a measured and fair segment but in all reality it was just an attempt to steer viewers against Khan or to question their support of her. This interview is not journalism, this was a "soft" hit piece. It was dishonest and manipulative and intentionally so.
I love Lina Khan. She inspired me to fight back with the law regulation and my dollars
As long as she keeps fighting, Peter Thiel, and Reid Hoffman will keep greasing Republicans and Democratic politicians and presidents to make sure she will get fired, as soon as it matters for their bottom line (because their profits wouldn't be as big). If it goes to the Supreme Court, Thiel and Hoffman will definitely get their wish, since SCOTUS is properly greased already.
Smart and Beautiful ❤ LK
Since the Supreme Court killed Chevron, it looks like the only way to ban non-competes is through Congress. Good luck with that.
I know Trump will definitely get rid of her, but watch the shock when Harris gets rid of her.
This woman is a hero.
Republican justices are destroying this country. They hate the common man, and it shows. Vote democrats down the ballot. They are the only ones fighting for you.
How can a subway worker go and work for Wendy's? He will take secret technology information with him.
yes this is normal
My god is are we workers in good hands right now
"When the music is over, turn out the lights"
Lina Kahn is mighty attractive
Non-competes make sense for high income employees, but not working people.
✨🙏✨ ❤️
4:34 This has to be the dumbest question ever asked on this show…. Time to retire grandma 🫡🇺🇸
I love Lina khan❤🔥🙌🏿. Huuuge advocate for consumers Kamala better keep her💪🏿💪🏿
If Trump's back in the WH, he will surely remove Khan and if possible arrest or even jail her. That's what he'll do according to Project 2025
By 2024, the program the anchors and the the content it produced are all dead. It’s not a good thing to see deal men talking!!
If anyone feeling hopefully dw guys SC will overturn any win she gets. Yay
Lina Khan is the first person in an admin since Reagan that is fighting for us instead corporations. I will be mad if Harris replaces her 💙
