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.

      Apparently CSW lost his starting job to Thornton last year. If he can stay healthy I bet Thornton keeps that NB position.

      I member him staying after practices with only to see he was wearing heavy weight vest, one of his trademarks. He also put in 10 years, right? People forget he was the ST stud that called the snap and made sure everyone lined up right. He was one of the "glue" guys that bought his "lunch pail" to work.... He was a willing solider, all teams need a couple of them. He blocked for sooo many panthers RBs- Davis, lane, Williams, foster, goings and when there was huge injuries he took over the starter duties and had a couple 100 yard games. If you followed hoover, he took the perfect RB path cause he was just a slow heavy one himself....

      Walker likely depends on a couple of things. What exactly did Dan promise him, to start with.  How much other interest he actually had for a starter job at high pay is another question. It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that he could stay on as a swing tackle waiting to take Moton’s spot when it opens.    I can’t get myself to consider Icky as a viable anything until we see him back on the field.     Hunt seems to be a team player and good guy but I don’t think he is worth what he is being paid. I have him tentatively earmarked for cap causality in the near future.
