Some of the nation's biggest fast-food operatorsmight have so-called "no-poach" agreements that stifle workers' chances to move to higher-paying jobs, attorneys general from 11 states and the District of Columbia indicated Monday.
No-poach agreements prevent franchisees from hiring workers away from one another. Non-compete agreements prevent employees from working for competitors after they leave.
"These agreements can exploit low-wage workers who are most in need of job protections,” said Robert Asaro-Angelo, New Jersey labor commissioner.
The practices recently have come under scrutiny. Some economists think they give employers more control over the labor market, preventing workers from jumping to higher-paying jobs and keeping wages artificially depressed.
