MLR PLayers Attempt to Unionize
GOFF Rugby Report
The United States Rugby Players Association has issued a public call to Major League Rugby to recognize the player union.
The USRPA, which represents the players on the USA national teams (both men and women), has been chosen as the MLR player union after the players voted overwhelmingly to join the organization. The USRPA then asked MLR management to recognize the union as the players’ bargaining representative, but that request has apparently been rebuffed.
