COSAL: The Committee to Support the Antitrust Laws

The Committee to Support the Antitrust Laws was established to promote the enactment and enforcement of a strong body of antitrust laws in the United States.

COSAL joined with 45 public interest groups in urging Congress to pass the “American Innovation and Choice Online Act” and “Open App Markets Act” to prevent tech giants from stifling competition. #antitrust #BigTech

COSAL is proud to join a coalition of 110 legal, consumer, civil rights, and labor groups in calling for @CFPB to revisit its previous work on curbing forced arbitration. Arbitration in financial contracts limits consumers' rights to redress wrongdoing.

An important and timely article from @BCAppelbaum. Effective antitrust enforcement requires more than just government regulators who believe in the dangers if corporate concentration. It also takes judges who understand competition economics and policy.

Big Tech has exploited its market dominance to buy competitors, crush small businesses, mistreat workers, and undermine democracy. It’s time we restore competition and innovation by reining in Big Tech’s monopoly power. It’s time to #ReinInBigTech: https://t.co/SeKxYrKint

Important insights from @KellieLerner on the five new, bipartisan antitrust bills recently introduced in the House of Representatives. COSAL strongly supports this critical legislation, which helps government and private enforcers ensure competition in the 21st century economy.

“I don’t think you can understate the significance of these bills,” Robins Kaplan Partner @KellieLerner says about the five antitrust bills. “They’re essentially a once in a century opportunity to modernize our antitrust enforcement to meet the current economy."

The high hurdle for antitrust class certification the Ninth Circuit established in Olean Wholesale Grocery Coop., Inc. v. Bumble Bee Foods weakens the law when we need it to be stronger. Is the court now having second thoughts? https://t.co/IrDtiYNB9O

Congress should pass the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act. Monopolists and other antitrust violators should not be able to use their market power to insulate themselves from the consequences of their wrongdoing. Full statement below #FAIRAct #EndForcedArbitration
