NLRB Complaint Calls a Noncompete Agreement an Unfair Labor Practice

The NLRB’s action adds another dimension to the Biden administration’s assault on noncompetes. The FTC proposed a ban on most noncompete agreements earlier this year.

Good news. They mention that the law doesn't apply to managers, I wonder how they define that? As an example, I have "director" in my title, but don't have any direct reports, and have kind of dotted line people who have different official supervisors.

It’s clearly laid out in the National Labor Relations Act as what a “supervisor” is. If you do any of the activities you are a supervisor. As a director you probably have the “responsibility to direct” employees, which would make you a supervisor.

NLRA Section 2.11
