Players Association

A Players Association is an organization that represents the collective interests of professional athletes in a specific sport. Its primary role is to negotiate labor agreements with leagues, ensuring fair wages, working conditions, and benefits for the players. The association advocates for players' rights, provides support in disputes, and helps in career development. By uniting athletes, it strengthens their bargaining power against league management and promotes their welfare both on and off the field. Examples include the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA).
