Roughriders players could strike on May 15 without new CBA: TSN
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are among six Canadian Football League (CFL) teams whose players could be in a legal strike position by May 15 if a new collective bargaining agreement is not signed, according to TSN insider Dave Naylor.
Three other teams, in Alberta and Quebec, could strike days later due to provincial labour laws, Naylor said in a tweet Monday.
Understanding is that 6 of 9 @CFL teams could be in a legal strike position by Sunday, May 15th. Three others — because of labour laws in Alberta and Quebec — would be days later. #CFL #CFLPA
