We wanted to share the latest American Association for Justice (AAJ) Report on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's relentless use of litigation to attack the rights of workers and consumers.
Chamber President Tom Donahue has threatened a new legal attack on Federal Regulations designed to protect consumers against corporate fraud and abuse. "Litigation is one of our most powerful tools," said Tom Donahue. Chamber officials also announced they plan to hire a major legal expert to help in this assault on consumer regulations.
AAJ's new report exposes the Chamber as one of the most aggressive litigators in Washington, entering lawsuits at a rate of over twice weekly, and details the Chamber's hypocrisy—blocking justice for everyday Americans while using the courts liberally for its own pro-corporate agenda. Underwritten by its multinational corporate members, the Chamber spends millions of dollars to undermine the civil justice system, prevents Americans from holding wrongdoers accountable in the courtroom, and advances the agenda of its corporate membership.
The report, entitled
The Chamber Litigation Machine: How the Chamber Uses Lawsuits to Keep Americans Out of Court, can be found at
