The United Football League Players Association enters unfair indictment for the work practice against the league

The United Football Players Association, the Players Union of the United Football League, submitted unfair laboratory practice against the UFL. The fees are made two weeks before the start of the season and in the middle of the ongoing collective bargaining between companies.

Under the charges submitted to the National Labor Relations Board, the UFPA claimed that the UFL had cut or disciplined the players through protected union activities, which contested the monitoring of participation in the player to trade union activities, refused to access the union to league facilities and created new discipline for the disposal of trade union activities. In addition, the Union claims that Memphis Showboat's Quinten Dormady had been shortened in response to his participation in trade union activities.

At the time of publication, the UFL did not respond to a request for comments.

The UFL, a Spring Professional Football League, enters its second season after the merger of the new XFL (the 2020 and 2023) and the new USFL (which played 2022 and 2023). The Merged League belongs to Fox Sports, Redbird Capital Partners, Dany Garcia and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Some remarkable quarterbacks in the league this year are Max Duggan, Matt Corral and Luis Perez.

The news on Friday is the latest signs for disputes between the pages. On February 22, all 24 UFL quarters sent a letter to the league, in which the CBA suggestions “unacceptable and insulting” and skipped the QB training camp of the league. ESPN also reported that the teams threatened to cut players if they did not visit the media day of the past week last week, and the league later clarified them for discipline and not for publication. The UFL Vice President of the Football Operations told The athlete Everyone appeared at the Media Day.

“Every job negotiation has its challenges and we do what every job negotiation goes through,” said Johnson last week. “You start with a large gap in the middle and try to get in common all the time. Both sides negotiated in good faith, we get closer. But this (media day) is not only so important for our league, but so important for these boys. Here we get all of our advertising production content. So it was important for them to know how important it is. … there are a number of things in the course of our season that will be critical and we will take people accountable to ensure that they are there. “

Johnson also said last week that he had no concerns about the start of the season, which begins on March 28th with a game between the St. Louis Battlehawks and Houston Rougneck. It is not clear whether the news will have an impact on Friday.
