I find it strange that there is a concern
that he (Ebert) will be an aggressive pro-business advocate.  I
don’t want to go out on a limb, but he’s supposed to represent the
interests of businesses.

From the article:

“Other groups fret about how he might
throw his group’s weight around on issues in which business has an
interest, such as compensation for injured workers.” 

The
trial lawyers apparently are worried about this.  I love trial
lawyers as much as everyone else, but he isn’t supposed to represent
them or care about what “frets” they have.
