The Twelve Tables and after the twelve tables, the power of the tribunes.
There was no patrician elected by the plebeians to speak for their interests. There was a tribune who was elected by the plebeians to look after their interests, but he was a plebeian, not a patrician. Actually... P. Clodius Pulcher was a son of Appius Claudius, of the illustrious patrician Claudius gens. Pulcher was also an agent of Julius Caesar's. In order to get himself elected as Plebeian tribune, he was adopted into the plebeian family of Fontei in 59 BCE. He then went on to pass a number of popular laws and made Cicero's life very difficult. So, to answer the original question, yes there was a patrician who was elected Plebeian tribune, but he needed to be adopted into a plebeian family first.
because the patricians ruled over the plebeians and they made unfair laws and the plebeians had to work with no pay and no breaks.
The plebeians engaged in civil unrest to protest their mistreatments by the patricians. They engaged in strikes, out and out riots, and refused to join the army.

One reason government officials ignored unfair business practices was the influence of powerful corporate interests and lobbyists, who often exerted significant pressure on policymakers. Additionally, some officials may have prioritized economic growth and job creation over regulatory enforcement, believing that leniency would foster a more favorable business environment. This resulted in a reluctance to challenge practices that could be detrimental to consumers or smaller competitors.
Government officials often ignored unfair business practices due to a combination of factors, including the influence of powerful lobbyists and corporate interests that shaped policy decisions. Additionally, a lack of resources and manpower to effectively monitor and enforce regulations contributed to the oversight of such practices. In some cases, officials may have prioritized economic growth and job creation over stringent regulation, viewing business expansion as beneficial despite potential ethical concerns.
Some military officials considered the use of certain interrogation techniques, such as torture or inhumane treatment of prisoners, to be unfair and barbaric. These practices were seen as undermining ethical standards and the principles of the Geneva Conventions, which aim to protect human rights during armed conflict. Critics argued that such methods not only harm the individuals subjected to them but also damage the moral credibility of the military and its operations.
