The End of Chevron Deference - What SCOTUS's June 28th decision means for your current non-compete agreement and rights going forward...

June 28th was a significant day for workers' rights as the Supreme Court's decision to eliminate Chevron deference will have a major impact on many individuals in the workforce. Previously, courts would defer to government agencies like OSHA or the FTC for interpreting laws passed by Congress. With this change, individual judicial interpretations could result in inconsistent enforcement of non-compete agreements across different jurisdictions, diminishing federal oversight and ultimately protecting workers' rights. So, what does this mean for you? It suggests that there will be numerous individual lawsuits leading to confusion. Employment lawyers, who previously relied on government agencies' interpretations of laws, will no longer have clear guidance to help their clients in legal matters such as mediation, arbitration, or court cases. Instead, a single judge with subjective views will determine your outcome if you need to pursue legal action.
