Dash Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 The union representing N.B.A. players is accusing the league of engaging in unfair labor practices and has filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board. In the complaint, which was announced Tuesday afternoon, the National Basketball Players Association accuses N.B.A. officials of “failing to bargain in good faith” on a new collective bargaining agreement. Other “unlawful practices” cited by the union include “demanding huge financial takeaways” without offering “corresponding concessions” to the players; “bypassing the union to deal directly with players”; and “threatening an unlawful lockout.” The union is seeking an injunction to stop “the N.B.A.’s unlawful bargaining practices and its unlawful lockout threat.” Read more: http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/213841/Players_Union_Charges_NBA_With_Unfair_Labor_Practices#ixzz1NOy3zb49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
?QuestionMark? Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Clearly there isn't a good faith in this negotiations. The owners are using the purchase of franchises and posting that in their losses as a way to justify the need to overhaul the CBA. This despite higher ratings, higher attendance, and overall higher revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
