Football Back: NFL Owners approve Proposed Labor Deal
NFL owners approved a proposed 10-year labor agreement with the NFL Players Association on Thursday, putting the potential end to the league’s lockout in the hands of the players.
Owners voted 31-0 to accept the proposed collective bargaining agreement, with the Oakland Raiders abstaining, after a full day of meetings at an Atlanta-area hotel.
Players still had to sign off on the deal — and they must re-establish their union quickly for the agreement to stand, the NFL said. Players didn’t vote on a full pact Wednesday because there were unresolved issues; they planned to have a conference call later Thursday. The NFL also said it wanted evidence by Tuesday that a majority of players have signed union authorization cards.
