Hi, Will. I don’t hear much these days about noncompete agreements in Mass.
Has any progress been made in this area? I suspect not.
This piece from yesterday’s NY Times explicitly calls out the difference between us and California.

No progress — we came very close last year to agreement on legislation, but it collapsed at the final hour.
Very hopeful this year. The chairs of Labor and Workforce Development, where the bill once again sits, are both very informed about the issue.
Another piece that pushes on non-compete agreements, today’s NY Times, by Krugman:

Over the past few months, I see the topic appearing every couple weeks.
