Private Rights of Action: How Consumers, Workers, and Businesses are Fighting Corporate Power in the Courts
A virtual conversation hosted by the American Economic Liberties Project and the Committee to Support Antitrust Laws
Wednesday, March 20 at 2:00pm EST
From filling a prescription to browsing the internet, consumers, small businesses, and workers alike are feeling the burden of consolidated markets. In recent years, we have seen a reinvigoration of antitrust enforcement across federal and state agencies, spurred by a broad executive order on competition. But this antitrust revival reaches beyond government efforts.
Widespread abuses of corporate power require widespread forms of accountability. The antitrust private right of action is just that. Antitrust cases brought by consumers, workers, and businesses themselves are a crucial complement to public enforcement efforts. Class action litigation, in particular, is a critical tool for countering corporate power. Today, private enforcers are taking on some of the largest firms in the nation, including Google, Amazon, and Facebook. They are stepping up against abuses of power by regional healthcare systems, grocery chains, EpiPen producers, meat packers, and landlords using algorithmic rent-fixing software.
Join the American Economic Liberties Project and the Committee to Support Antitrust Laws for a virtual conversation on the ways in which the private sector is tackling corporate power on March 20 at 2:00 PM ET.
