Seems not the case here in the Czech Republic. (Which leads to the question whether there is European Law here, and whether the systems are harmonised throughout Europe). Recent example: TV Nova executive Libuse Smuclerová cannot work in another TV station for a year or so.
On a wider note, contracts generally mean two parties having agreed to whatever - within the limits of the law. So if somebody signs a contract with a "non competing clause", he or she is bound to comply. Though I agree with the fact that "there is high imbalance of power between the two parties".
