CLASSMATE’S POST

As stated by Carrell and Heavrin (2013), unions in professional sports, as they relate to labor relations, are broken down to management, which consists of leagues and team owners, labor, which includes players and unions, and the government. The government remains essential in assessing cases and providing trials, the sports leagues discuss collective bargaining for the players meanwhile, the union bargain collectively, protect their rights, and implement tactics to pursue the players’ overall goals. With this said, a union representative face more than just management during the collective bargaining process. The pros of unions in professional sports are that of any other union in a sense that a set salary can be established, there will more flexibility in the players’ schedule, the prevention of adverse treatment, and of course the modification of benefits such as, pensions and health care. However, the cons which mainly affect the team owners in my opinion, include less flexibility and time spent when discussing possible changes, long or drawn out discussions in for example, disciplinary actions, and potential lawsuits when no agreement can be made or in the event of unfair labor practices. With these negative situations, fans and players may experience a reduction in morale which can then cause further disruptions such as, strikes and/or boycotting. I feel that professional sport unions face a large amount of stress due to the various complexities that come with the role of a professional sports player; I suspect that the collective bargaining experience would not easily concludes, and cooperation would be scarce.
