I can see "No Compete Clause" coming into play soon. It happens at a lot of places of work.

Except four states outright ban Non-Competes and over 30 restrict them. Here in Texas, the courts have upheld non-competes as long as they don't "hinder legitimate competition". What that is depends on the circumstances of the non-compete. Interestingly, Feds tried outright banning non-competes last year but a Federal judge stopped the FCC from enforcing it.
 
Please enlighten me why worker freedom-of-movement is a problem.
Not about freedom of movement in a lot of cases. My best example is a non compete would limit the ability of a former employee to reach out to former clients of the past employer. There are ways to get around it but it makes one think first.

And that employee would just wait until the non-compete expires and do it anyways.

And agents would leverage non competes for higher wages for clients in the industry I used to work in.

“My client will sign a three year market non-compete if you increase the salary offer.”

They would do this for clients that had no interest in working for the competition, but employers were happy to pay the increase for peace of mind.

There were benefits to employees that knew how to work the system.

It's not unless they wilfully sign a non competition agreement and except defined payment for such as a condition of employment.

Freedom of movement is not the issue, per se; taking company IP/knowledge to a competitor would be one reason.

I think people who have to sign as a condition of employment and do not get any extra pay for it outnumber those who willfully sign for extra pay.
