A Long History Of Labor Disputes

Workplace disputes are conflict which occurs within the workplace. They can be a result of relationships or clashes in opinions on certain tasks. Indicators are used to measure the results of workplace disputes, these indicate the factors creating disputes. They include: corporate culture - how well a workforce treats one another, benchmarking key variables - whether staff are motivated to reach these benchmarks, staff turnover - the amount of separation of employees is occurring, absenteeism - how frequently staff are taking days off, accidents - how people react

During the Progressive Era of the Gilded Age, many laborers were being mistreated by the companies that they worked for. Because of this, workers started forming labor unions or organized association of workers, formed to protect and further their rights and interests. Many of these labor unions failed, while few of them achieved their goals and still exist today. Many factors contributed to the failure of these labor unions. The labor unions were given a bad image, the reason for this was the media, and they did this by publishing articles depicting the unions as violent, communist groups. The government supported big business during this time, since the government had a lot of power; this was a huge setback in the labor unions’ battles.

The National College Athletic Association, better known as the NCAA has been involved in constant turmoil for quite some time now. In the college sports world, there are two variant sides by which neither can come to a final decision. Those side are for and against paying college athletes for participation. While some agree that “coaches are paid too much for players to be struggling to buy food” (Connolly), some actually seem to disagree. Agree or disagree, the athletes deserve a resolution because the longer the issue, the longer the struggle. The two side fail to realize that their arguments and discord does

The collective bargaining agreement between the National Hockey League and the player’s association stipulates that arbitration must be used initially in order to resolve disputes relating to salary, grievances, and system. A case that did a good job of demonstrating the authority of the collective bargaining agreement’s stipulation of an arbitration clause was McCourt v. California Sports, Incorporated. In this case plaintiff signed a National Hockey League Standard Players Contract to play professional hockey with defendant team. After defendant picked up a free agent from another team, the other team proposed that plaintiff's contract be assigned to it as compensation. An arbitrator agreed and plaintiff's contract was assigned. Plaintiff filed suit alleging that the reserve system and the assignment of his contract as compensation for the free agent violated § 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C.S. § 1 (1976). The district court entered a preliminary injunction restraining defendants, hockey league, team, and players' association, from enforcing the arbitration award and from penalizing plaintiff for refusing to

The NBA is a billion dollar business and known as one of the largest and most prestigious organization within American sports today. It is also home to one of the most controversial rules in all of sports, which is known as "the one and done rule." The one and done rule restricts high school basketball players from entering the NBA draft out of high school and going to straight to the NBA. According to Article X, Section 1 of the NBA's 2005 collective bargaining agreement (CBA), the policy for player eligibility states:

7th Basic Agreement – in 1990, the owners tried to institute another lockout because the lack of a salary cap made it possible for large market teams to attract richer television contracts from local networks and offer players higher salaries. The owners were proposing a revenue sharing program that would mandate the

The real gist of the lockout was the ratio of the revenue that each side was to take home from the total $4 billion. The players indicated that they were ready to concede on the salary issued but wanted a significant share of the revenue. On the other side, the owners indicated that they had and were still

NBA-ready players are being forced to spend a season playing basketball at college before they enter the NBA and it is causing a few problems.

Fans feel that they are getting ripped off when they go to the games to watch some of the best players in the NBA, and they don’t play for non injury reasons. For example, The Cleveland Cavaliers rested their best three players, LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love, on a nationally televised game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn’t go well for the NBA because people are not going to watch the game if the good players are not playing in the game. This shows how resting players during the season in big televised games hurts the ratings on TV and the game experience for the fans. Furthermore, the NBA needs to shorten the amount of games so teams don’t rest their players especially during nationally televised

The union was against the idea of a salary cap and insisted that salaries were based on market conditions and it would not agree to capped team payrolls. As an attempt to save the season, the league dropped the demand that the salaries would not exceed fifty-five percent of revenue. The union then reconsidered and became willing to accept a salary cap. The two parties however, could not close the gap on how much the salary cap should be. Neither side would budge and finally time ran out, resulting in the league cancelling the 2004-2005 season.

There are two main ways by which a plaintiff could challenge the NCAA’s no-pay rules under Section 1 of the Sherman Act. First, the plaintiff could argue that the no-pay regulations signify a type of wage fixing that damages not only the market for the student-athletes’ skills but also the value of college sports as a whole. Second, the plaintiff could argue that the NCAA rules create an unlawful group prohibition of those
