INTRODUCTION
… Part II of this Comment provides background on sexual harassment in the workplace and its increasing prevalence in the media in recent times. Part III examines state laws on non-compete agreements and the recent push to strengthen regulation of these agreements in order to make the labor-force more worker-friendly. Part III also discusses the discouragement of non-compete agreements in low wage work environments, particularly in the restaurant industry, where sexual harassment is most prevalent. Part IV combines the effects of sexual harassment with the existence of non-compete agreements and discusses the ratios of the two among various states, which, in turn, will yield calculations that display a correlation between the two factors. Finally, Part V further analyzes the correlation between sexual harassment claims and non-compete agreements, and proposes a solution to this important issue which would empower victims and eradicate the use of intimidation to keep employees trapped in a toxic environment.
