We live in a highly competitive world where highly paid executives and business persons gain access to corporate trade information and knowledge, customer lists and other proprietary information. Unlike prior times, these executives and other employees are highly mobile, moving between companies and jobs, even between competitors. Michigan courts and the Michigan legislature ave recently tried to deal with the realities of our 21rst century marketplace in dealing with the enforceability of non-compete agreements.

In Michigan, the validity of non-compete agreements is governed by section 4a of the Michigan Antitrust Reform Act, a statute passed by the Legislature in 1987, as well as the many cases interpreting that statute. Together, the statute and the case law set forth the parameters defining those agreements that are enforceable and those that are not. The statute seeks to strike a compromise between the protection of an employer’s competitive business interests and an employee’s right to earn a living. As such, courts interpreting non-compete agreements focus their analysis in four areas:

• The agreement must protect a company’s reasonable competitive business interest. Among the factors in determining whether the agreement protects a reasonable competitive business interest are the employee’s position in the company, compensation paid to that employee and the level and amount of specific competitive information acquired during employment, which may include such areas as trade secrets or special training conferred on the employee.
• The agreement must be reasonable as to the length of time the employee is prohibited from working in the line of business. Again, each case is 'fact sepcific' and numerous factors are analyzed in determine what is a reasonable length fort non-compete contract.
• The agreement must be reasonable as to the geographic area the employer seeks to prevent the employee from working in. While the employee’s immediate area of employment would most likely be upheld as a reasonable territorial restriction, wider restrictions require a greater showing that the agreement seeks to protect the employer’s reasonable competitive business interest.
• The agreement’s restrictions on the type of employment or line of business must be reasonable. Courts will look less favorably on deliberately vague, over-reaching or “blanket” agreements.

Enforcement of Non-Compete Contracts
Michigan courts have enforced and will enforce well-drafted agreements on a case-by-case basis, with remedies that include the issuing of restraining orders or injunctions and the awarding of monetary damages. It is important to note that even if one condition of a non-compete agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of the agreement may be valid and enforceable. Businesses of all types, especially those with multi-state operations, must understand that the rules for non-compete agreements vary from state to state. What’s enforceable in Michigan may not be in one of our neighbor states. Moreover, employers should not delay in acting on known breaches of a non-compete agreement. The longer an employer delays between the discovery of unlawful competition and pursuit of a legal remedy, the weaker becomes the employer’s request for injunctive relief.

Like any contract, non-compete agreements define the expectations of each party and are subject to negotiations, depending upon the bargaining strength of the parties. Employers should have legal counsel help draft these agreements to ensure that they meet the employer’s expectations and are enforceable. Employees, on the other hand, should review such agreements carefully to ensure that they understand the restrictions on future employment should they ever leave the company.

Also, be sure to remind those leaving your company of their legal obligations during any exit interview. In this way, employers will strike a favorable, yet serious business tone, while best ensuring that any non-compete agreement can be enforced, should the need arise. I threat letter for any alleged violation is usually the first step to ensure the parties abide by non-compete terms and avoid litigation.

The 10 Most Polluted Cities in America!

Air pollution is the process by which unhealthy chemicals or biological materials are introduced into the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a gaseous system that has the necessary ingredients to sustain life. Ozone depletion as a result of air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to the existence of life on earth.

The atmosphere in specific terms is a layer of gases surrounding Mother Earth. These gases are held in place as a result of Earth’s gravity. The atmosphere is like an umbrella protecting life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The atmosphere is responsible for warming the surface of the Earth by retaining heat through the greenhouse effect, and preventing temperatures from becoming too hot or too cold during day and night. The gas consistency of dry air in regards to volume is 78% nitrogen, 21%, oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, and a small amount of other gases. Air is also consists of water vapor, about 1%.With this said, there are cities in America where pollution is a big problem. We will discuss them later.

Air pollution can have a detrimental effect on health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2.4 million people die each year from causes directly associated with air pollution. One point five million of these deaths are caused by indoor air pollution. Epidemiological studies revealed that well over 500,000 Americans die each year from cardiopulmonary disease linked to breathing fine particles found in air pollution, (American Chemical Society). A study by scientists at the University of Birmingham has shown strong correlations between pneumonia related deaths and air pollution from motor vehicles. Therefore, it is a good idea to stay as far away from roads and motor vehicles as possible when jogging.

Knowing which cities have the best and worst pollution is paramount, especially if one suffers from respiratory ailments. According to the 2010 American Lung Association’s State of the Air Report, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, and Bakersfield, city ranks the lowest on the list of cleanest cities to live, in regards to air pollution. The 2010 report ranks cities affected most by three type of pollution: short-term particle pollution, year-round particle pollution, ozone pollution.
