Soon after the news highlighting that NHL players’ have decided not to use their right of disbanding NHPLA, a latest set of news confirms that NHLPA has planned to take yet another vote for making it easier to dissolve itself later.
This news has battered all recently developed optimism after witnessing the latest set of labor talks, which took place this week. A group of players, represented by the NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr, were witnessed exiting the NHL headquarters after a short meeting on Thursday afternoon. It was quite noticeable that NHLPA executive director, Donald Fehr, did not participate in the meeting, even through a full negotiating session was expected to take place on Thursday. Now there are no official announcement about what is going to happen next.
Now a latest piece of information reveals that union has planned to hold another vote among the NHL’s 740 players, which will give it the right of filing a disclaimer of interest case against the NHL. This news is being circulated shortly after the players’ chose not to file the disclaimer even after passing of its self-imposed deadline on midnight Wednesday. Perhaps because it was seeing progress being made in negotiations. The disclaimer will allow the union’s executive committee to stop representing the players, which will in return allow the players to be able to file an antitrust lawsuit against the owners of NHL. Perhaps by taking yet another vote in such short time, players are trying to blackmail the NHL and influence the negotiations that are going on at the same time.
