Peter Wilt’s Proposed Solution to MLS Labor Strife
The MLS Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) negotiations are coming down to the wire and appear to be reaching an impasse. Many of my New Year predictions will prove false, but I’m afraid the first one, which predicted a 3-4 week work stoppage, is beginning to look accurate. No one wants this and outsiders don’t have the specific information to fully understand how or why the situation has gotten to this point.
The differences seem to center around the less tangible issue of “player rights” rather than pure cash. The owners have invested considerable sums into the league and they continue to do so. Players see that the tide is beginning to turn with some teams generating positive cash flow and now want to be included in the reward.
