The last hurdle in the MLS labor negotiations saga appears to have been cleared.
Over the weekend, the MLS player pool voted to ratify the terms of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. It was previously announced that the MLSPA and MLS had reached a tentative deal on a new CBA Friday night. The final step in locking in the new deal on the player’s side was getting the stamp of approval by the entire player pool.
The final step in solidifying the CBA is a vote by the MLS Board of Governors, which should be a formality at this juncture.
