Last week, @USDOT gave consumers a win with new rules to force airlines to automatically refund passengers in cash when flights are canceled. But a line buried on pg. 429 of the new FAA bill says passengers would still have to jump through hoops to get the refunds they deserve.
Some personal news. I'm thrilled to join @econliberties and get the opportunity to contribute to their very important work. Bonus: I got a mention in @playbookdc for something other than my birthday.

🚨Congress is using the FAA Reauth to weaken @USDOT's hugely popular rule requiring automatic refunds from airlines—issued just last week. "Sen. Commerce leadership is blatantly doing the bidding of airline giants at the public’s expense," says @mh4oh.👇 economicliberties.us/press-release/…

Some quick thoughts on that godawful WSJ editorial attacking Lina Khan and the FTC’s challenge to the merger of accessible luxury handbags …
ICYMI: @FTC & @linakhanFTC just banned noncompete agreements, which cost Americans billions of $ per year & are simply anti-worker. No noncompetes means better competition, increased mobility, and higher wages. Proud to have called for this w/ @SenWarren. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
This will mean more freedom for working people, and it’s set to put more money in their pockets—to the tune of increasing pay for Massachusetts workers by $2 billion. npr.org/2024/04/23/124…
Hottest ticket in town!
Hottest ticket in town!
Jake Tapper had FTC Chair Lina Khan on to talk about the noncompete ban, and had to ask if his own noncompete was no longer valid. Khan says that when the ban takes effect, not only will new noncompetes be banned, but clauses like his will be rendered null and void.
Earlier this week, we hosted a debate on the Tiktok divestment bill. @matthewstoller & @michaelsobolik argued in favor, while @jrhuddles & @sfmnemonic opposed. Listen here, and follow @DynamistPod to stay up to date! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/epi…

A recent article on new research by @jjprescott2009, Stewart Schwab, and @evanpstarr cited in this press release: "First Evidence on the Use of Training Repayment Agreements in the US Labor Force" promarket.org/2024/03/27/fir…
"@FTC’s final rule is a clear-cut win for American workers and entrepreneurs." Full statements on the historic non-compete ban, which will boost wages by $400B+ and boost new biz formation, from our own @mh4oh and eleven other ally orgs.👇 economicliberties.us/press-release/…
Too often, airlines drag their feet on refunds or rip folks off with junk fees. It's time Americans got a better deal. Today, my Administration is requiring that airlines provide automatic refunds to passengers when they're owed, and protect them from surprise fees.
The U.S. Chamber’s lawsuit to stop the non-compete ban references my bill to ban non-competes as evidence the FTC doesn’t have the power. Nonsense. The FTC totally has the authority to do this. My bill would just make sure the policy is permanent.
“The Federal Trade Commission’s decision to ban employer noncompete agreements across the economy is not only unlawful but also a blatant power grab that will undermine American businesses’ ability to remain competitive." Read @SuzanneUSCC's statement on why we will sue the FTC…
this is so amazing to see. i’ve known @WilliamJMcGee for about a year now, and i’ve never met someone so passionate about protecting consumers. thanks for all you do for us, Bill!
Sr. Fellow @WilliamJMcGee has spent decades pushing @USDOT to do more to protect passengers and rein in Too Big To Care airlines. But as he spoke to today, there's been a positive sea change in the DOT's enforcement activity over the past year--which we're thrilled to see.👇
You may have heard that Walmart is acquiring TV maker Vizio. What you probably haven’t heard: the acquisition has almost *nothing* to do with TVs - and *everything* to do with gobbling up consumer data. 🧵on why regulators need to step in and this stop this naked power grab.
Proud to see @econliberties’ @WilliamJMcGee introduce Sec. Buttigieg announcing the new rule that will make it easy for passengers to get refunds. Bill has been relentless in his fight for passenger rights and it’s fantastic to see the impact of our work.
@MAKeliher @erikhane We here at @econliberties endorse this position.
Too many airline passengers are charged for "services" they never actually receive. Today, @SecretaryPete announced new actions to crack down on junk fees in the airline industry. x.com/moreperfectus/…
BREAKING: Airlines will now have to pay you when they mess up. The Department of Transportation has issued a new rule requiring airlines to give you an automatic refund if your flight is canceled or delayed or if they lose your bags. It’s a game changer for U.S. travel.
This is great news for musicians! Kudos to @openmarkets and other allies for leading this effort, and congrats to @artistrightsnow, one of the original petitioners.
In final rule, FTC bans non-compete clauses for *all* workers!
I have long been an opponent of non-compete agreements, so this is great news. This will boost innovation, make competition fairer, strengthen our economy, create jobs, and raise wages for millions of workers across the country. Well done, @linakhanFTC!
BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements. The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes. This is a game changer for American workers.
This is a great move from the @FTC! Noncompete agreements keep wages low and are anti-worker and anti-competitive. This is a pro-worker move that will mean people get paid more, and I’m proud to have helped advocate for it. washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…
Folks, my Administration has announced two new big steps to get American workers a better deal. Let me explain: First, the @FTC is cracking down on "non-compete agreements," contracts that employers use to prevent their workers from changing jobs even if that job will pay a few…
Today, the @FTC finalized a rule restricting companies from imposing non-compete clauses in worker contracts. This is a major step that will help millions of people enjoy greater liberty in their professional lives. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…
While some think noncompetes only apply to big executives, that's just not true. @FTC is banning them because they harm all workers. Here's the story of hair stylist Emily Olson, who was trapped in a noncompete so restrictive it prohibited her from doing her own mother's hair.
Many thanks to everyone who came to the listening session in Nevada, Iowa to share their experience and expertise on the challenges that farmers and rural communities face, from corporate consolidation to undue repair restrictions.
Thank you @linakhanFTC for coming to listen to the stories of Iowans on a chilly Saturday morning. She gets it. She’s one of the people who gives me hope.
Happy ban non-competes day to all who celebrate 🫡🫡🫡
We are thrilled to welcome @ewwilkins to the team! Elizabeth’s work at the FTC has been critical in the fight against corporate power from noncompetes to junk fees to merger guidelines. Look forward to working together at @econliberties’ on the next set of challenges.
