FTC, DOJ speak

Representatives for the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission showed up in Seattle this month during a meeting of the 50-year-old Council of MLS group. And yes, they were invited.

The agency representatives delivered presentations about the purpose of antitrust law and the types of MLS policies and rules that are not allowed under antitrust law, as well as offering an update on antitrust enforcement activities.
