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.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
