Clinton represented Tyson Foods as an attorney and she paid $1,000 for a futures contract that netted her $100k. However, I have not found any evidence that she was ever a board member. If I'm wrong would you please provide a link? Thanks.

The issue of whether Clinton was a board member or not, do you care to connect how Clinton's representation of Tyson Foods in the 1980s relates to a Supreme Court decision on a labor dispute (that the workers won) in 2016?

an attorney for Tyson, it was the person who got her involved in the commodity trading, James Blair who
was the attorney for Tyson foods.
