Maybe, maybe not. All negotation is give and take. A contract that provides for free scrimmage coverage is not
ipso facto worse for the referees than one that pays for the scrimmages. (Extreme example: would you rather work two free scrimmages and then get paid $100 per ref per game for three man games or get paid $50 for scrimmages and $50 per ref per game and do 2 man?) You can't condemn the negotiators without knowing what the contract was before that they were working from, what the members told them they wanted, and what they got in exchange for what they gave up.
