Hunter in ‘Post-Dispatch’ on Defeat for Union by Amazon Employees
Apr 20, 2021St. Louis Senior Counsel Jerry M. Hunter was quoted April 18 by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch concerning the vote of Amazon warehouse workers against joining a union, despite a high-profile campaign endorsed by President Joe Biden and others. Hunter was surprised the union lost so badly after gaining the right to conduct a mail-in ballot, something Amazon opposed. “The union in my view had everything going for it,” he said. “Winning that election would have given organized labor a lot of momentum, but now that momentum is dissipated.” Hunter was general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board under former President George H.W. Bush.
