Burger King, Popeyes, and Tim Hortons Agree to Remove No-Poach Clause for Fast Food Workers

to either ax their no-poach policies or prove that they’d already been removed. Three holdouts have been Burger King and Popeyes, both of which were sent letters as part of the initial investigation, and Tim Hortons—all of which are owned by Restaurant Brands International. But yesterday, the attorneys general announced they’d reached an agreement with these chains as well.

“No-poach agreements are unfair, have led to persistent low wages, and are anticompetitive in nature,” Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said in announcing the deal. “These settlements will reduce barriers and empower workers to secure better-paying and higher-skill jobs.” Meanwhile, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, another member of the coalition, said the fight was not over. “I will continue to push restaurants to end their use of no-poach agreements, which allow businesses to take advantage of low-wage workers,” he said in a statement. “These agreements stop employees from seeking higher-paying opportunities and escaping the cycle of poverty.”

That said, it’s not clear which, if any, restaurants the coalition is still targeting. The attorneys general said they requested documentation from eight chains: Arby’s, Burger King, Dunkin’, Five Guys, Little Caesars, Panera Bread, Popeyes, and Wendy’s. Dunkin’, Arby’s, Five Guys, Little Caesars, and Panera all reached an official settlement last March, while Wendy’s provided confirmation that the chain had never used no-poach clauses.
