Portland is about to be the epicenter of a major supermarket chain merger that will determine the scope of antitrust law for years to come, notes Lewis & Clark Professor Keith Cunningham-Parmeter. “The scale of it is huge, and it’s affecting consumers at a time of inflation and workers at a time of increased attention to labor rights.” Federal regulators are considering the effect the merger will have on workers, which according to Cunningham-Parmeter, “is a unique development,” that is “taking antitrust law into a new zone.”
