The @wnba.com has seen historic growth in recent years. NONE of that would have been possible without the skills and talent of WNBPA players. It’s time for Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to agree to a fair contract. Solidarity with the players!

I have a lot of thoughts about this article, so please bear with me as I put them all together. The quote from Miles Mikolas is irresponsible. It completely lacks context. In short, he says the Union should not defend Profar. The Union has a duty of fair representation to represent bargaining 1/

Everyone thinks the star-studded Dodgers will win it all again. Done deal. Right? But MLB hasn’t had a repeat champion since 2000. A lot can, and often, does go wrong. In fact, LA probably isn't going to win the 2025 World Series. @zcrizer.bsky.social explains: theanalyst.com/2025/03/dodge...

This morning, we learned that President Trump fired Board Member Gwynne Wilcox, whose Senate-confirmed term runs until 2028. This move must be called out for what it is—a frontal assault on the NLRB, its employees, workers, and the very idea of an independent civil service. 🚨

Yahoo! Sports has seen incredible talent pass though its doors the past three decades, yet its been blindly unwilling to build and keep a staff.

The intent is to prevent the Board from having a quorum. Without one it cannot make any decisions. Without a Board or a General Counsel or GC designate unions and employees will have no redress for violations of the law. We dealt with this during his previous 4 years with the FLRA, the federal 2/

Today at @baseballprospectus.com : With the Dodgers and the New York teams opening their wallets this offseason, seemingly pricing many teams out of the market for on-field talent, is it time for a salary cap in MLB? An examination by the numbers

We’re thrilled to share breaking news: The AFL-CIO and @seiu.org are reuniting with a new, long-term effort to make it easier for workers to win a voice on our jobs with our unions. There’s power in unity! aflcio.org/press/releas...

The labor market stuck the landing!!! Not much soft about it. We end the year with a strong jobs report: - Payroll employment up 256k - Unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1% - Labor force participation rate held steady - Overall and prime-age employment-to-population ratios ticked up #NumbersDay

Even with these increases, there are still tens of millions of workers being paid exceptionally low wages. We need to secure living wages for all and end harmful carve-outs like the tipped minimum wage ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 www.epi.org/blog/over-9-...

When people watched Hank Aaron in 1960 they just enjoyed the show, they didn't think "yeah, but I'm worried about 1968." I suggest we just watch Soto (or Judge/Ohtani/Harper/...) allow ourselves to be amazed.

I'm going to ramble a bit and use @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social post as a jumping off point. The current CBA has the "Cohen tax" which requires teams that exceed the highest threshold for total team payroll of $293M/yr for 3 consecutive years pay 110% of the overage as a salary tax. So, this Soto 1/

Dick Allen fell one vote short of election in his last two ballot appearances. An elite hitter who clashed with a world that was often far too slow to embrace him as either a player or a person. We’re more than ready to celebrate both now, says @jayjaffe.bsky.social
