In response to management firing the striking umpires...just so you don't get blasted by some freak who misreads that...
They can't "technically" fire the striking umpires, but they can refuse to ever employ anyone who is a member of the AMLU. The only thing that a collective bargaining agent is is this: If the NAPBL wants to hire someone who is a member of that 220 person staff, they must negotiate with the AMLU. That's what the law says. So, that person would have to resign his membership from the AMLU, or the NAPBL would have to negotiate with the entire group.
If the AMLU wants to win this, they must win the hearts of the players and managers, i.e. , the games must be horribly called...such as the Fresno situation last night...6 batters hit by pitches high and tight and in the back...no warnings issued...massive brawl.
If the NAPBL wants to win this, they have to stay the course, continue to triple the fines, and then restructure the system. They don't ever have to negotiate with the 220 people that are on strike again. Trust me...they break the union...they will hire most of them back on THEIR terms, not the AMLU
