Fast-Food Chains Back Away From Limits On Whom They Hire
“Seven national fast-food chains have agreed, under pressure, to eliminate a practice that limits their workers’ ability to take jobs at other restaurants in the same chain, the Washington state attorney general announced Thursday. The move came after Bob Ferguson, the state attorney general, threatened to sue them over the practice, saying it was anti-competitive. The chains — including Arby’s, Jimmy John’s, Auntie Anne’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Carl’s Jr. and Cinnabon — will stop enforcing or using such practices across the country. McDonald’s previously agreed to remove such restrictions.”
