CALGARY (660 NEWS) — The Canadian Football League (CFL) could be headed for a strike.
Over 97 per cent of players gave the union their support in a strike vote on Wednesday according to the CFL’s Player Association (CFLPA).
CFL players have voted 'yes' to their health and safety. Yes to proper care and rehabilitation for themselves and their teammates. And yes to a partnership with the CFL that recognizes the overall contributions and sacrifices players make for the game. #TeamCFLPA 1/5

They say almost every CFL player participated in the vote — and on Thursday, it is more clear than ever that it is unified as an association.

They will return to bargaining, following the CFL’s unilateral decision to delay talks, on Monday and Tuesday.
