Several complaints by the NFL Players Assn. against management, including a bid for back pay totaling at least $20 million, will be heard today as hearings get underway before an administrative law judge of the National Labor Relations Board in Washington.
The NLRB general counsel already ruled against the NFL in the complaints, but the league’s Management Council appealed the decisions and now has the opportunity to present its side.
The most important topic, in terms of the amount of money involved, concerns the NFLPA’s demand that its members be paid for games played on Oct. 18-19 last season, three days after the conclusion of the 24-day players’ strike. After the players called an end to the walkout, the NFL Management Council refused to let them return to work and instead staged one final weekend of games with replacement players.
