When did Major League Baseball players strike and why?
The biggest strike ever in professional sports was the MLB strike of 1994-95 232 days and 750 players and 28 owners resulted in lost money for the owners and players and in disillusionment for the fans. Although the game bounced back somewhat in 1996 and finally got its long-awaited collective bargaining agreement, problems remain. Using a model of collective bargaining, this article examines the strike and its aftermath, in order to analyze what happened and why. Since 1972, negotiation between the union and owners over contract terms has led to eight work stoppages that have plagued baseball. Hence, there is a clear need for a critical review of the bargaining process. 1972 player strike, 13 days missed of regular season 1976 owner lockout, 17 days 1980 player strike, 7 days 1981 player strike, 50 days 1985 player strike, 2 days 1990 owner lockout, 32 days 1994 player strike, 232 days, postseason cancelled, 1995 season shortened to 144 games
