Legal Question in Business Law in Ohio

Employee/Employer Conflict

I have worked for a company for many years and was about to start my own company. They bid on a job and I also bid on the same job while being employed with them. I was asked to resign and threatned with legal action. Is there a law against this and what catorgory does this fall under so I can further investigate this? Thank you.
