Best Answer

The MLB players went on strike in 1981 due to the fact of low salaries and unfair salaries. The players, who do most of the work, were walking out of a season with barely 5 percent of what the manager makes. The team manager was the guy who was getting all the cash, and the players knew it. They went on strike, and won.
