So many things already have to be going wrong for these to exist, that no single individual can possibly fight them.

- The legislature has to not care about laborers.

- The laborers can have no effective means of cartelizing amongst themselves.

- The businesses have to employ people who think it is okay to require uncompensated non-competes.

- They also have to be willing to sue ex-employees.

- The court/arbitration system has to side with the employer in some of the cases.
