The National Labor Relations Board rejected a complaint by National Football League management that the NFL Players Assn. failed to bargain in good faith during contract talks. The union asserted that the ruling boosts its antitrust suit against the league.
The NLRB ruled that an impasse existed in the stalled contract talks between the league and the players’ association, which represents about 1,600 players.
The NLRB discounted the NFL’s claim that the union did not engage in good-faith bargaining to reach a contract to replace the collective bargaining agreement that expired Aug. 31. The ruling states that an impasse started Oct. 11, when the sides broke off six days of talks in Tysons Corner, Va.
