Let’s look back in history to the beginning of unions and the purpose they served. They provided a means for workers to unite within certain industries in order to gain fair wages, better working conditions and benefits (like retirement & insurance). This happened in many industries some of which members of this forum have benefited as a result of. Maybe the unions didn’t directly impact your industry but indirectly gains made by unions filtered throughout businesses in the US.

Here’s my ruling:

1. MiLB umpires have a right to strike in an attempt to gain fair wages, better working conditions and benefits.
2. Team owners have the right to hire replacement umpires in order to stay in business and to meet their obligations. They also have the right to fire the striking umpires.
3. Replacement umpires have the right to work A-AAA games if offered, without fear of harm; this is still the United States of America.
4. The striking umpires have the right to carry signs and protest the owners and replacement umpires; again this is still the United States of America.
5. Striking umpires have the right to work college, high school or any other level games, one more time; this is still the United States of America.

Now with all of this said who really care what I think? No one..... I was just bored
