The U.S. Chamber of Commerce bills itself as a champion of small businesses, but a report published Tuesday shows that the powerful lobbying group primarily uses its vast resources to support large corporations in court as they combat antitrust regulations, environmental protections, efforts to lower prescription drug prices, and consumer access to the legal system.
The watchdog defined court access cases as 'legal disputes relating to whether or not forced arbitration clauses would be enforced and whether or not a class action lawsuit would be allowed to proceed.' 'While the Chamber actively works to shut the door on everyday Americans seeking relief from the judicial system, the Chamber certainly had no issue availing itself of the court,' Public Citizen's report states.
