FMCS Provides Help in Resolving Labor Dispute


 
 
Using best practices, FMCS helps labor and management address collective bargaining issues.

 

With the start of the 2010 season at stake, FMCS helped Major League Soccer (MLS) and the MLS Players Union avert a strike and reach a deal on a new, five-year collective bargaining agreement.
 
 
 
In talks mediated by FMCS Director George H. Cohen, negotiators for Major League Soccer (MLS) and the players reached a tentative agreement for a new, five-year collective bargaining contract covering five seasons, commencing with the 2010 season and continuing through December 31, 2014.
