Please Read For A Statement From The ECHL About Collective Bargaining With The PHPA
Dear Fans,
We wanted to provide a statement from the ECHL about collective bargaining with the PHPA and the union's decision to force all ECHL players to go on strike. This is likely going to lead to the postponement of some games, including our game tonight at Greensboro, and we will be in direct communication with our fans about any future home games that will be postponed or rescheduled.
To get important information about our last, best and final offer to players, which would immediately raise salaries by 20 percent and address other proposals that are priorities for our players and teams, please visit the ECHL website HERE.
Statement from the ECHL:
"Unfortunately, union leaders deprived players of the opportunity to vote on our last, best, and final offer - an offer that would dramatically raise player salaries by 20 percent in the first year, boost the per-diem rate, guarantee more off days, and expand the top-of-the-line equipment available to players. We did everything possible to avoid this outcome, and hope that the union leadership will drop its unworkable scheduling demands, let the players vote on our offer, and make it possible for players to return to work."
