Student debt blocks financial stability and empowerment, making key milestones like homeownership and starting small businesses out of reach.

⏰STARTING SOON: Our next research showcase with @UC_SLLI! Ft: 📑@Dcollier74 sharing new findings on the impact of Public Service Loan Forgiveness; & 📑Adam Goldstein sharing new research done with & @CharlieEatonPhD on Income-Driven Repayment. Watch: bit.ly/slli-research
"With conventional non-compete clauses facing greater legal restrictions, employers have increasingly turned to a functionally similar alternative. They use Training Repayment Agreement Provisions (TRAPs) to require a worker to compensate them for on-the-job training."

Do you have older FFELP loans? If so, you may need to consolidate your student loans before April 30th to participate in the IDR Account Adjustment and get closer to cancellation. That's just five days away!!! bit.ly/IDR-account-ad…
.@MOHELA failed to provide time sensitive info to help California borrowers, so @CaliforniaDFPI took matters into its own hands and penalized @MOHELA. States can & must be key players in holding student loan servicers accountable! Statement: protectborrowers.org/california-dfp…
Today @USChamber argued that non-competition agreements will… create more competition? Don’t let the chamber gaslight you. Banning non-competes and TRAPs is good for workers, borrowers, and the economy. Full stop. protectborrowers.org/advocates-cond…
The road to $1.75 trillion of student debt was paved by bad policy, servicer malfeasance, sham lawsuits, and broken promises. We must turn back around. #CancelStudentDebtNOW
Student debt prevents borrowers from re-investing in their communities.
@FTC's final rule banning non-competes also bans Training Repayment Agreement Provisions (TRAPs) that "function to prevent a worker from seeking or accepting other work or starting a business after the employment associated with the TRAP."

Notably, the FTC's rule also touches on training repayment agreement provisions (TRAPs). These loans put workers in debt to their employers and have effects similar to non-competes, impeding worker mobility and suppressing wages.
This is a watershed moment for workers laboring under TRAPs. @FTC recognized that TRAPs function as noncompetes. Where they do, @FTC banned TRAPs outright. This is about much more than workplace training. It will help right the balance of power between workers & corporations.
@FTC This @FTC ban on TRAPs is consistent with so much research over the last few years showing the harms of TRAPs and other "stay-or-pay" contracts & how they've been used as workarounds to existing non-compete bans: protectborrowers.org/training-repay…
@FTC's final rule banning non-competes references my comment on why Training Repayment Agreement Provisions (TRAPs) are functional equivalents to non-competes: ftc.gov/system/files/f…:
"Banning people from working is coercive. It is exploitative." -@FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya
.@FTC is LIVE, voting on BANNING traditional and de facto non-competes such as stay-or-pay contracts—including harmful Training Repayment Agreement Provisions (TRAPs). We say do it! #BanWorkerTRAPs Our fellow @LawProfJHarris will be live tweeting the highlights:

The FTC rule is grounded in widely accepted notions of fairness firmly rooted in our laws. Here's what a court in the 5th circuit said about a TRAP in an @TowardsJustice, @theSBPC, and @FairWorkLaw a couple weeks ago.
According to statutory law, precedent, and historical practice, the FTC has the authority to ban non-compete clauses as an unfair method of competition. A court may now say otherwise but that is a fight worth having.
Up @LPEblog: @sandeepvaheesan’s & my take on this week’s historic @FTC final rule banning noncompetes & the legal challenges to strike it down. @linakhanFTC lpeproject.org/?mailpoet_rout…
BREAKING: In 3-2 vote the FTC approves its sprawling, historic ban on non-compete agreements. All non-competes banned moving forward. Existing ones can remain in effect only for senior executives. Lawsuits seeking to block the rule certain to follow. huffpost.com/entry/federal-…
Two big things happened today that are extremely popular: --FTC moved to ban non-competes --Labor Dept moved to expand overtime protections to millions more workers Both reforms happened because of Biden and in spite of Republicans. And both could die before GOP-appointed judges.
They want noncompetes, bondage fees, and "training repayment agreement provisions" (TRAPs) that force their workers to stay in dead-end jobs rather than shopping for a better wage: pluralistic.net/2022/08/04/its… 41/
I'm now reading @FTC's final rule banning non-competes as it relates to functional non-competes like Training Repayment Agreement Provisions (TRAPs). My @AlaLawReview article, "Unconscionability in Contracting for Worker Training," put TRAPs on the map: ssrn.com/abstract=36420…
Here's a primer on how stay-or-pay contracts like TRAPs are used as workarounds to non-competes & why they need to be reined in, as @FTC did today: blog.northwesternlaw.review/?p=2730
@FTC's final rule banning non-competes also bans Training Repayment Agreement Provisions (TRAPs) that "function to prevent a worker from seeking or accepting other work or starting a business after the employment associated with the TRAP."
@FTC's final rule banning non-competes references my comment on why Training Repayment Agreement Provisions (TRAPs) are functional equivalents to non-competes: ftc.gov/system/files/f…:
See recent research from @evanpstarr, @jjprescott2009, & Stewart Schwab showing that around 1/12 workers have a TRAP: promarket.org/2024/03/27/fir…
@FTC This @FTC ban on TRAPs is consistent with so much research over the last few years showing the harms of TRAPs and other "stay-or-pay" contracts & how they've been used as workarounds to existing non-compete bans: protectborrowers.org/training-repay…
Noncompete agreements trap workers from finding better jobs, drive down wages, and stifle competition. We commend the @FTC and @linakhanFTC for finalizing a strong rule to ban these exploitative practices and level the playing field for American workers.
BREAKING: The Federal Trade Commission has voted in favor of adopting a historic and far-reaching ban on noncompete agreements. huffpost.com/entry/federal-…

@theSBPC and I have argued against salary thresholds for bans on restrictive covenants: protectborrowers.org/wp-content/upl…
This compendium shows how different federal agencies including @FTC could rein in TRAPs & other stay-or-pay contracts: protectborrowers.org/stay-or-pay-co… @theSBPC @TowardsJustice @econliberties
Our report found that companies using TRAPs may rush workers through the sign-up process and use bait-and-switch tactics, ultimately creating barriers to career advancement. The FTC's rule is a critical step in addressing these harmful practices and protecting the public.
Last year, the @CFPB published a report highlighting the risks of employer-driven debt, including TRAPs. You can read the full report here: consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsr…
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…
