MLS Talk Podcast: Jeffrey Standen, on Collective Bargaining

In the first of three podcasts Major League Soccer Talk will be devoting to collective bargaining and labor negotiations, I was joined by Jeffrey Standen.

Jeffrey is an instructor at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon where he teaches (amongst other things) Sports Law. He joined me on Tuesday to walk us through the important concepts in labor disputes: the importance of single-entity, how it distinguishes the MLS labor dispute from other sports labor disputes, as well as traditional breaking points for labor during these negotiations.
