Unionism in Baseball
Don Wollett (emeritus McGeorge) has just published his book Getting on Base: Unionism in Baseball. Here's the author's description:
After almost half century as a labor lawyer and arbitrator, I firmly believe that preserving the game, as we want it to be, will require a real union to “step up to the plate” and challenge both the MLBPA and major league owners. The present system is a perversion of collective bargaining.
Wollett's thesis is that a union should step up and organize minor league baseball players.
