Not directly - aperson cannot be persecuted simply because of who they work for if the work is legal in every way. However they might pin you for breach of contract (if there is such a clause) or for violating a security or privacy agreement, or even for selling secrets if they can prove this.
It's actually a conflict of interest. And, if stated by your employment agreement, you may be subject to termination. It's usually seen in higher end businesses where strategy is key to competition. You may not transfer written training documents and manuals to the competitor without facing serious consequence. Conflict of interest.Wiki User

Is it legal for my former employer to tell employers not to hire me?
Legally, they can say anything that is factual and accurate. They may tell a potential employer if you were "re-hireable." That said, there's a lot of businesses out there that don't know nor care about that, so they tend to say whatever they want to potential employers looking for references. No law prohibits a former employer from honestly reporting the fact you were fired. There is no possibility of a defamation suit for reporting a fact honestly. Whether you DESERVED to be fired is not an issue in a defamation charge, only whether you WERE fired. You were fired? I am free to tell everyone without liability.
