player union

Sports labor organization

A player union is a labor organization representing professional athletes in negotiations with team owners and league management.

Player unions bargain collectively for salaries, benefits, working conditions, and contract terms: The player union rejected the league's latest offer.

Major sports leagues each have their own—the NFL Players Association, NBA Players Union, and similar bodies.
