Chester County Chamber of Commerce Partners with Other Business Groups Urging Congress to Oppose Noncompete Rule
|
CCCBI joined business groups across the Commonwealth and Nation to urge the US Congress to oppose the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) proposed rule to impose a nationwide ban on almost all noncompete contracts. As stated in a letter signed by Laura Manion, President of CCCBI, the FTC lacks the constitutional or statutory authority to issue such a rule and, in attempting to do so, the agency is improperly usurping the role of Congress.
Contractual relationships between employers and employees are beneficial to spur innovation when companies feel they can freely share information with their workforce to increase trust and productivity. A survey by the US Chamber of Commerce found employers would have to reduce the sharing of sensitive information with employees, and reduce or defer compensation with employees should this ban take effect. In addition, non-compete contracts can be a more effective, and lower cost manner in preventing the loss of trade secrets than a litigation alternative which would further clog the courts (Brookings).
However, this change by the FTC would invalidate millions of contracts around the country which will harm both employees and employers. For more information, please click here.

The HEADstrong Foundation is the legacy of Nick Colleluori, dedicated to improving the quality of life for those affected by cancer.
Founded after Nick's diagnosis in 2005, HEADstrong allows others to benefit from his journey both through life and his battle with Diffuse Large B-Cell non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Nick held onto his "never-give-up" mental toughness, determination and aggressiveness from his football, wrestling and lacrosse days throughout his journey. This mentality has been an inspiration to Nick's family in their pursuit to make a difference.
In the sixteen years HEADstrong has been making an impact, they have raised $28 million and helped 26,000 families. They provide meals and recreational services, financial aid, temporary housing, comfort kits, and connection through mentorship and support.
HEADstrong has thrived with community support from athletes, businesses and volunteers throughout the years and continues to offer events and opportunities to make a difference.
