Saw this on Lehto's Law youtube channel. I think the results of this could be very important.
Summary:
A group of
"at will" employees working for employer A seek better jobs with employer B, not "poached", not recruited, applied for open positions.
Employees are extended job offers by employer B and offer current employer (A) opportunity to match offer.
Employer A declines to make offer and employees tender notice and prepare to go to work for employer B.
Employer A sues to get temporary injunction against employees from going to new job. Judge grants temporary injunction.
Who owns your labor? No contracts involved in this case. I really hope the judge tells employee A to suck it but in this day and age I'm doubtful of the right outcome.
Does it matter or should it matter that employer A is a hospital?
