Union Busting Alive and Well: Break with union or find your way home.

[Justice wanted]

The owner of the Pittsburgh Power fired all 24 members of his team during a pregame meal at an Orlando-area Olive Garden.

With AFL players set to strike before the 2012 season opener, owner Matt Shaner reacted first, cutting his entire team hours before kickoff of a game against the Orlando Predators.

*SNIP*


Shaner told the newspaper that some players split from the union and returned to the team in time for Saturday night's game. Those who didn't were stuck in Orlando and forced to return to Pittsburgh on their own.

It is sick how these people work.

1. Let's hope he doesn't have enough players for the game.

How many people actually come to those games? I never even heard of this "league" before.

2. Isn't it illegal to fire someone for trying to start a union...I know it's done but

I didn't think one could do it so openly.

3. Arena Football like most other sport teams are unionized. He basically fired them for being

union members and stranded those who didn't come back to play un-unionized.

4. Not sure that NLRA covers sports.
