Business Law
Company A and Company B produce high tech security devices in State C. Company A and B are rival competitors in State C. Company A is fearful that their employees will jump ship and go to Company B seeking employment and carrying with them the design secrets of Company A. Therefore Company A is requiring employees of Company A to sign a no-compete contract . Company A employees have been holding violent protests and have even brought weapons to the protest.
Discuss the following:
What are the rights of Company A employees?
Why are company A's employees so upset about a no compete contract?
Have the rights of Company A's employees been violated?
What should the employees do?
Do the employees have a remedy with the court system?
How would you stop the employees from becoming violent?
In business the laws are very strict. Do you think that carrying a gun to work is a safety issue? Will this help or hurt the work environment? Why or why not? No research is required. I just want your opinion.
