Big-business advocates are lining up with the Trump administration's new position in the U.S. Supreme Court that workplace arbitration agreements banning class actions do not violate federal labor law.
The organizations, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Retail Litigation Center, submitted friend-of-the-court briefs after acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall notified the court on June 16 that President Donald Trump's Justice Department was taking a different position than the Obama administration.
The justices next term will hear arguments in a trio of disputes that will be among the most closely watched business cases. More than 70 cases, representing major U.S. companies, were filed in the federal appeals courts. Appeals courts were divided in their rulings.
