So yeah, it happens, but not in the context of a stronger union that is actually interested in it's own long term preservation.

Heres the thing though....They Dont Care.
A Sports Union is a largely different animal.
- They have short careers in which to get as much as they can
- All Union Members are not equal; Big dollar guys are more important
By the time these consequences come home to roost Fehr and most of the other big ticket players will either have taken what they wanted and left the mess for whoever is next.
The Big Contract players will still be the most important and get their big contracts and as long as the PA still advocates for an ever-increasing ELC they'll keep the new kids relatively happy.
This is a pretty standard FYGM.
