Labor Relations Board investigating NFLPA

...based on a complaint from the league (USA Today)

Decertified or not, the NFL Players Association might still be subject to action by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), stemming from an unfair labor practices charge by the NFL.

As the NFLPA disclaimed its interest as a collective bargaining agent when labor talks collapsed Friday, effectively becoming a trade association, the NFL amended its previous charge by filing with the NLRB's Region 2 office in New York.

The gist of the NFL's charge is that the NFLPA has unfairly used decertification as a negotiating strategy for securing a better labor deal. "We're not a union anymore," president Kevin Mawae said Monday. "So any case before the NLRB is trumped by our decertification. So it doesn't matter."

Not true, according to NLRB spokesperson Nancy Cleeland. "It doesn't change what (allegedly) happened," Cleeland told USA TODAY on Tuesday. "The charge is still being investigated. By (the NFL) amending the charge, obviously, they still think it's live."

The former NFLPA guys think nothing will come of it, but for the moment it's in play.

This is definitely one thing Obama would be willing to fix.

Good lord lets hope not. We might end up with touch soccer. Before tailgating, fans would be mandated by the gubment to pick up and drop players off at the stadium in tax funded hybrid minivans.

Snake_Fist has it right. 5 years is plenty for that ass clown Dmo Smith. Players and their reps are a joke.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
