Accord Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Why is it that in the basbeall games i've played, year after year, Millar, Miller and a few other players are never in them?? 709413[/snapback] Read this article... New York, May 3, 2000 -- Although half a decade passed after the strike which cancelled a season, the consequences of the job action still reverberate at the union offices and the team dugouts. ESPN reported that a number of baseball players who came to the Major Leagues as "replacement players" are still not allowed to join the union. It's not about letting bygones by bygones. Unions detest replacement workers (often called "scabs") and while such workers have been used during strikes by a number of employers (including the NFL in 1987), the memories do not die easily. Labor law permits employers to use replacement workers in the event of a strike. The report noted that none of the replacement players can join the Major League Baseball Players' Association (MLBPA) and every year since the strike, player representatives have voted to keep it that way. What does it mean? On the one hand, these players do not have to pay union dues. Although they are entitled to union grievance arbitration representation and pension. But they cannot share in the royalties from the sale of baseball merchandise, a deal which shares the monies between the teams and the MLBPA. It also serves as a reminder and a stigma for those players, which include Rick Reed and Benny Agbayani of the New York Mets. The union does not want to set a precedent for players who were used to hurt the union's efforts. The players probably feel that time should heal the wounds. And maybe the union representatives should reconsider their decision. http://www.sportslawnews.com/archive/Artic.../MLBPAscabs.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
