Keeping a laptop on when you have to take a midnight stroll is a cause for more sleepless nights. Not tonight...
Minor League Baseball is NOT a 5 billion dollar industry.
I can name a dozen fortune 500 companies that offer minimum wage jobs to those they feel are worth it. A better comparison is the companies that pay seasonal wages that are miniscule and a slap in the face of the employee. No one forced them to take those jobs and yes, the job is seasonal.
Your last line was the most important. This strike has only affected the smallest fraction of sports fans, workers and administration. The fact that it hasn't been resolved should tell Andy all he needs to know. MiLB is holding a Royal Flush. The ranks are rumbling and the split will happen sooner than later. Hopefully a new group will form that will recognize their place in the game. Then they can back on the field and the amateurs can go back to their parks.
This strike could not have happened at a worse time for the union.
