Congress Explores Banning Forced Arbitration To Curb Corporate Dominance
The takeaway: Big corporations routinely use binding arbitration and class action waivers to block lawsuits. Policy advocates argue Congress could restore consumer rights by exempting antitrust, civil rights, and consumer protection cases from the Federal Arbitration Act.
Concrete details
- In 2019, more Americans were struck by lightning than received monetary awards from corporate arbitration panels.
- A 2022 law successfully exempted sexual assault and harassment claims from binding arbitration in workplace contracts.
Why it matters for this reader: As a reader tracking monopoly power, reforming mandatory arbitration could dismantle a primary shield protecting dominant corporations from antitrust litigation and consumer accountability.

State Enforcers Fight Nexstar Media Merger Over Alleged Order Violations
The takeaway: State antitrust enforcers are confronting Nexstar over its $6.2 billion TEGNA acquisition. After a judge ordered TEGNA held separate, Nexstar reportedly appointed its own executives to TEGNA's board and operated it as a direct subsidiary.
Concrete details
- Combining Nexstar and TEGNA would unite 265 television stations across 44 states, reaching 80% of U.S. households.
- Paramount faces $6.9 million daily in ticking fees starting October 1 during its blocked $110 billion Warner deal.
Why it matters for this reader: For your focus on political economy, state attorneys general stepping in where federal agencies approve consolidation demonstrates shifting federalism in antitrust enforcement.

Action items
- Track congressional proposals regarding Federal Arbitration Act exemptions to gauge future legal liability risks for major corporations.
- Monitor state attorney general filings against media mergers to assess non-federal antitrust enforcement tactics in consolidated markets.
