Labor unions in sports
Labor unions in sports are organizations that represent athletes' interests, negotiating wages, working conditions, benefits, and protections with team owners or leagues. They aim to ensure fair treatment, improve job security, and address issues like health and safety. By acting collectively, athletes can leverage their combined power to influence contract terms and working conditions, fostering a more balanced relationship between players and management. These unions also advocate for rules and policies that support athlete welfare and the integrity of the sport.
