.MLB to recognize minor league union in major win for MLBPA
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred revealed on Friday that the league would allow the formation of a new bargaining unit, according to multiple reports, under the umbrella of the Major League Baseball Players Association, which this week was pushing for the MLB to make such a recognition.
The MLBPA had sent out union authorization cards to minor league players in order to gauge their interest in unionization. Just 10 days after mailing, the amount of support for organizing was well beyond the threshold of 30% that was needed to proceed with the effort.A union news release earlier this week said that the number of minor league players in support of joining the union had grown far beyond that 30% threshold to a “significant majority.
Unionization would grow the MLBPA ranks and result in the association representing more than 5,000 U.S. players. The Washington Examiner contacted the MLBPA for comment about Friday’s development.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
