Major League Baseball and the Umpires Association
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses the controversies that have revolved around labor issues of Major League Baseball and baseball umpires. Certain fundamental labor issues are in force, however, the unique aspects of professional sports adds to the overall complexity of the process. The decision by the umpires to “quit” rather than strike in September of 1999 ultimately backfired on them and they have had to work to reconstruct some type of a professional association for collective bargaining. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
