Not even football can make the NLRB less boring.

Not to mention anti-trust law.  But since I specialize in boring, assume that the owners do lock out  the players, and the NFLPA 'decertifies' (however that works), what then happens?  Is each player then essentially a free agent? Does basically any NFL labor related action (the draft a cap etc) become an automatic anti-trust violation?  Do dogs and cats start living together? Can I write another sentence without a quetion mark?

From my boring specialist status to yours, here's what we've been told on the NFL front here at the Labor Board.  The players are probably going to see what happens with this charge first, that is, if the Washington Resident Office finds merit to the charge.  We've been told by the NFLPA to expect a charge against the owners in the next couple of weeks seeking to get the owners to turn over their financial statements.  That should be fun.

The memo I read said that the soon-to-expire CBA's provisions regarding the draft extend through this coming draft, so that would be protected.

Basically, decertification is the players' nuclear option. When that happens, the union for the players would dissolve, becoming, ostensibly, a trade organization, and the NFL's antitrust exemption would go away (as long as they're negotiating with an elected union. they're given an anti-trust exemption). Based upon anti-trust law, if the NFL clubs, acting as 32 individual businesses, were to attempt to lock out the players, it would be a group boycott of the workers -- which is illegal. It would then open the NFL up to a class-action lawsuit by every individual player, and based on precedent, it would lose.

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were an attorney for the Labor Board too.

This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

That's a terrible thing to say about anyone.

I'm sure Frosenbloom has something on it. What word from Slezak though?

She doesn't get off work until around 5, so I'll check back in around 7.
