Planned building services were ordered to eliminate restrictions on worker mobility.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has recently finalized an order requiring Planned Building Services and its affiliated companies to end their no-hire agreements. These agreements prevented building owners from hiring Planned employees, limiting workers’ ability to seek better wages and working conditions. The FTC’s complaint—filed in January 2025—argued that these practices unfairly restricted worker mobility and suppressed labor market competition.
The consent order mandates that Planned stop enforcing no-hire agreements, remove them from future contracts, and inform employees and customers that existing agreements are no longer valid. After a public comment period, the FTC unanimously approved the order, reinforcing efforts to promote fair labor practices.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Chair Andrew Ferguson as he heads the Federal Trade Commission.
- For commissioners in the FTC to be prudent in their issuance of rules and regulations.
