Another step to fight free contracts that where negotiated without coercion.
First a nanny state, then daddy state, then socialism.
Discussion
"Negotiated without coercion" is not necessarily true. If all of the employers in my field of expertise require employees to sign non-compete agreements, I am effectively coerced into entering into such an agreement, simply due to a lack of other alternatives.
Nobody ist coercing you.
The same like nobody is coercing you to sign a NDA for example.
YOU sign voluntarily, because you KNOW, that it is the best way for you to make money. Of you could make better money at another place or of your own, you wouldn't sign.
I mean, what's next? Are they coercing you to work, because food and housing isn't free?
If you don't live in socialist countries, nobody is forcing you. Just do your thing, of someone OFFERS a job for you, you don't have to take it.
