Unions
October 18th, 2008 by admin
This allows a certain amount of leverage on the bargaining table for the players and their representative union when attempting to secure a pay increase or trying to institute new regulations. Very much like performing magic tricks. However there are many entities affected by sports unions. Players use their union to further their own interests and goals. Owners are forced to deal with the union, lest they lose money during a lockout or strike. Fans are left helpless to watch as owners and the player’s union banter back and forth, while possibly delaying an entire season in which they had hoped to attend.
