Delta Seeks Dismissal of Noncompete Suit (pymnts.com)

Delta Air Lines filed a motion to dismiss a Washington federal court lawsuit alleging failure to disclose noncompetition restrictions to job applicants. The carrier argues state law does not authorize monetary damages for such violations and that the disputed provisions do not qualify as noncompetition covenants under the statute. Plaintiffs claim Delta withheld information about restrictive employment terms until after offers were accepted.
