The MLS Players Association ratified the reworked Collective Bargaining Agreement on Monday, clearing the way for the 2021 season to begin. The players’ bargaining committee had come to an agreement on the new terms a few days prior but the larger player pool still needed to sign off for it to become official.
The MLSPA released a statement that thanked other North American players’ unions as well as various supporters’ groups for backing their efforts.
MLS players have made incredible sacrifices and overcome considerable challenges in the past year to continue doing their jobs during a difficult time for all of us.
