Section 12: Review Questions - Explain how organizing limits competition for
player jobs. How doe organized player associations counteract owner
powers?
Organizing limits competition for player jobs it taught players about
organization, something valuable, limiting competition for jobs. On the other
hand, it also counteracted owner power by organizing unions. Unions are
protected by law, and owners must respect that. They also teach players
about potential owner exploitations. Unions were the key to counteracting
owner power.
Section 12: Review Questions - What rights do players forfeit when they
choose a collective bargaining agent? Why might players in a given league
decertify their union?
The right that a player forgoes when they choose a collective bargaining
agent is the individual right to legal action. A player in a given league may
want to decertify their union instead. This is because players may want to
take individual action instead of collective bargaining to reach their goals
better in very special situations.
Section 12: Review Questions - What is the difference between a strike and a
lockout?
A strike is when players withhold their services to an owner, meaning they
don’t play the sport for them in protest. A lockout is what an owner can
respond with in this situation, they can refuse to allow them to play and show
the risk of players losing their jobs.
Section 13: Thought Problems - Suppose players in a given sport decertify
their union. What risks do they run in doing so?
There are obvious risks that come with decertifying a union for the players.
This can give control back to the owners, allowing them to control and lower
the salaries. It also gives the owners the power to exploitation, as the union,
who once was responsible for informing on such things, now is not there to
explain the exploitations by owners. They also will not be able to enforce
nearly as many regulations on the owners to do what ever they want with
player contracts as there will be no union to protect said contracts.
