English Premier League Collective Bargaining Agreement

After playing the first two games of the season in 1987, the players went on strike for the Free Agency. [2] In response to the strike, the team`s owners called in replacements and continued the regular season after a week. A few days earlier (april 24, 2020), it was reported that the men`s team of the same club had agreed on a salary reduction for players and coaches. The club, players and coaches reached a consensus „after three rounds of sufficient communication“[101], becoming the first professional football club to cut salaries in China. Only a small number of clubs have decided to negotiate with a single player (e..B g. FC Viitorul[56]) and conclude an agreement, most of them imposing only the legal provisions allowing clubs to unilaterally suspend the player`s contracts.
