"The 8th Circuit, based in St. Louis, is known to be very conservative and often rules in favor of employers. Nine of the 11 active 8th Circuit judges were appointed by Republican presidents.

Gould said that when he was NLRB chairman and took action against employers, the 8th Circuit frequently "was quite sympathetic to employers" and "they would reverse us quite frequently."

Added Gould: "I can't think of a court in the United States it would be better for an employer to be before than the 8th Circuit."
