NHLPA - A Union

The NHLPA is applying for union status in Quebec and BC. What a joke. The labor movement should be doing everything in their power to stop this. (But they won't). The union movement, started out of a need, but that need and the historical basis for a union is not to protect people who earn into seven figures per year.

If union leaders stand up now and state that there is no need for players who earn exorbidant salaries to be a part of the union / labor movement, they can save some credibility.

The NHL is not the only "game" for the players to play. Just look at how many of the players played over in Europe during the lockout. They took less money and moved away from their homes. Does that not suggest that they get overpaid to work closer to home?
