Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining

The purpose of this assignment is to explore and analyze collective  bargaining agreements for three professional sport organizations or  leagues.

After reviewing three  agreements, address the following in a 750-1,000 words:

1. Compare  and contrast the various provisions across leagues, such as those  relating to drug testing, salary arbitration, grievance arbitration,  salary caps, drafts, pensions, and other benefits.
2. Discover and discuss whether there are provisions that are unique to each league.
3. Examine the various provisions and assess whether the provisions relate to mandatory or permissive subjects for bargaining.
4. Finally,  identify and describe what factors make labor relations and collective  bargaining in professional sports unique, as opposed to in other  industries.
