Friday, March 4: The MLB Players Association announced Friday that they are launching a $1 million fund for workers impacted by the owner-imposed lockout.
According to an MLBPA press release: “The fund will be administered by Major League Baseball Players Association and the AFL-CIO and distributed to stadium workers and others who face financial hardship through no fault of their own due to the MLB franchise owners’ lockout.”
The union is currently working on a counterproposal to the league’s last offer from Tuesday, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
