Summary

End Employer Collusion Act

This bill makes it unlawful for any entity to enter into a restrictive employment agreement, or to enforce or threaten to enforce a restrictive employment agreement. A "restrictive employment agreement" is any agreement between two or more employers that prohibits or restricts one employer from soliciting or hiring another employer's employees or former employees.

The bill provides for penalties under the Sherman Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act for entering into a restrictive employment agreement.
