is there a legal remedy for a company who has issued non-compete agreements to employees as a condition of continued employment?

The non-compete agreement is too broad as effectively covers the eastern half of the US. The non-compete agreement is too broad as it covers not just competitor companies but potentially any hospital or imaging center with an MRI or MRI management contract. The agreement is too broad in that it not only covers proprietary information but also is intended to cover all job skills even if they are standard skills and acquired prior to joining the company. The agreement protects the company but is written to the detriment of the employee. Example: Under the language of the agreement, the employee requires the employee to sign as a condition of continued employment but the employer could terminate the employee immediately afterward and the employee would be excluded from employment by any potential employer associated with the type of business conducted by the company. The company offers no compensation for signing away rights to "look for greener pastures".
