What comes next remains to be seen, but the obvious consequence of the sudden unionization effort will be collective bargaining.
To this point, only major league players, who for 50 years have been represented by the vaunted MLBPA, have had the chance to negotiate with their employers for higher salaries or more tolerable working conditions. All of that is likely to change this offseason,last week that he hopes the sides will have their first agreement in place by spring training. Minor league players seem likely to negotiate for higher salaries, among many other priorities, in those talks.
Given that minor leaguers played at the whims of major league owners without a union since the 1930s, the idea that unionization happened quickly might be in the eye of the beholder. But since minor league players lost their season — and therefore, their paychecks — to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, their oft-overlooked working conditions slowly worked their way into the mainstream sports consciousness in a way that forced quick and substantial change, even before the push to unionize.
Thanks in large part to the consistent efforts of advocacy groups, low salaries, travel tribulations, housing challenges and other concerns facing minor leaguers emerged as mainstream issues in a way they had not before.When MLB staged a complete takeover of the minor league system ahead of the 2021 season, the owners’ swift elimination of 40 affiliated teams overshadowed the league’s efforts to implement some modernization.
