So how exactly do you form a union for pro athletes? In part two of our series exploring the history of the MLSPA we get a firsthand account from original Executive Board members and PA staff. You'll hear about the process from two different perspectives: Executive Director Bob Foose and former General Counsel Jon Newman who found themselves stuffing envelopes to collect union cards, and the locker room leaders (like Ben Olsen, Eddie Pope, Evan Whitfield, Logan Pause and more) who were helping their teams figure out what this all meant. As the PA found its footing and the players started to understand that they could push for changes, the 18 month journey to the first Collective Bargaining Agreement began.
