Fortunately, the parties have agreed to meet again in hopes of signing a new CBA to end the work stoppage. If things go well tomorrow in New York City, the league and union may have a follow up session on Wednesday. There must be major progress in the next two days or else fans will not be able to see a full NBA season. With a religious holiday coming up shortly, time is ticking for a new collective bargaining agreement.
CBS Sports: “Tuesday and Wednesday represent the last opportunities to bargain this week with several key members of both sides’ negotiating teams observing Rosh Hashanah on Thursday and Friday.”
The only way to end the work stoppage is to schedule meetings and take into consideration the other’s proposal. The league and union may have two radical viewpoints, but at least they are willing to settle their differences.
