MLS strike vore

When my son was playing youth soccer, one year he played on a team called the "Strikers." Knowledgeable soccer fans know the origins of the term. As a labor and employment attorney my friends made a few comments about me hanging with a bunch of, uh, strikers. All in good fun, of course. Now Major League Soccer players are likely to experience what it is to be a striker off the field. 350 MLS players reportedly voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike if they do not have a collective bargaining agreement in place before the beginning of the season.
