Union Advocates For MiLBers' Wages At Spring Training Games

The United Food & Commercial Workers' union passed out leaflets at four select MLB Spring Training games this weekend, "including two Cactus League games" today, in an effort to "raise awareness among baseball fans about the plight of minor league players who often make less than minimum wage." UFCW Local 99 Chapter President Jim McLaughlin and his union members today will be at Royals-Cubs in Surprise and Dodgers-Giants in Scottsdale. The majority of minor-league players "earn less than $7,500 per year, far less than a full-time minimum wage worker who earns around $15,000 annually" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 3/29).
