Many have clung to their dislike of unions by considering they are anti-competitive. All that has been achieved is the depression of wages and a greater gap between rich and poor. I want to see competition fostered where it will reinforce growth, including income growth—for example, to see a more certain and concrete prohibition of restraints of trade in employment agreements of low-paid workers. Our law already says that restraints of trade are prima facie illegal, but herein lies the value of my practical experience in the law. Restraints are habitually included in individual agreements for workers on wages close to the minimum wage. The poorer the worker, the more unlikely they are to challenge them. The possibility of litigation is too frightening. This means low-paid workers are afraid to go and set up their own cafe or move to the competition who might offer them a pay rise. It stifles their capacity to move from, say, $20 to $25 per hour. It means their employer has no incentive to pay them more, because they do not fear losing them to a competitor.
