Unions in Sport

Seems a bit strange, doesn't it.
There's a stoush going on between Cricket Australia and Australian Cricketers Association (the Union).
One side want this, the other wants that.
The players have claimed back their image rights.
It's looking like a stalemate at the moment.
It all come down to 30/6 and if it isn't sorted, then the ashes series, (if it's not aborted) will be seriously affected.
It's almost a replay of the Packer takeover in the late 70s, but without the TV rights involved. (as an aside, it's said that Channel 9 are losing $40mil per annum on their telecast of cricket).

Drog, you know you don't want to, you want to try to win it properly.
At this moment I think that Cricket Australia would be hard pressed to find a team that would be willing to play.

Don't care how we win it as long as we stuff the convicts.

 

[davebirch]

If it's not sorted, there's some doubt as to whether the ashes will be held.
It's getting very heated over here.
