ORGANIZATION

Established 1972 from the merger of the March Group, the Construction Users Anti-Inflation Roundtable, and the Labor Law Study Committee.

"Business Roundtable is an association of chief executive officers of leading U.S. companies with $4.5 trillion in annual revenues and more than 10 million employees. Member companies comprise nearly a third of the total value of the U.S. stock markets and represent over 40 percent of all corporate income taxes paid. Collectively, they returned $112 billion in dividends to shareholders and the economy in 2005."
