DAVID PROUTY is a labor lawyer, first, last, and always. He handles employment issues. He negotiates with employers. He fights for his clients rights. If that sounds more or less typical, heres a different spin for you: Proutys clients are major league baseball players. Hes the new general counsel for the Major League Baseball Players Association, arguably one of the most powerful unions in the country.
Prouty, formerly the MLBPAs chief labor counsel, was promoted to the GC post in February. As GC he succeeds MICHAEL WEINER, who formerly acted as the unions top lawyer as well as its executive director. Weiner announced in August that he was being treated for an inoperable brain tumor.
