In reply to the discussion: Tom Brady is Lucky That He is A Union Member [View all]Imagine you work in a union job and per your collective bargaining there are set penalties for being late to work. 1-15 minutes= a warning. So one day you're late for work and your company decides to ignore the collective bargaining and suspend you for 2 weeks. It would be your unions job to fight for you.
The cba between the nfl and nflpa had set punishments for equipment infractions, a $25,000 fine. All of a sudden Tom Brady violates equipment policy and he's suspended 4 games. Damn right his union fought for him.
I agree that the nflpa could be much stronger, but I find no fault with their handling of Tom Brady's case.
