Sports labor unions

Sports labor unions are organizations that represent professional athletes' interests, advocating for fair wages, safe working conditions, and better benefits. They negotiate contracts with team owners and leagues, ensuring athletes have a voice in decisions affecting their careers. Unions also provide legal support and protect players from unfair treatment or disputes. Essentially, they function like a collective voice that helps balance power between individual athletes and powerful team organizations, fostering fairness, unity, and improved working conditions within professional sports.
