The MLB Players Association announced last week it had sent authorization cards to current minor leaguers asking them to designate the union as their official collective bargaining representative as the MLBPA pushes to establish a minor league union.
The Athletic reported Tuesday that more than 50% of minor leaguers returned and signed union authorization cards. This means there is a majority in support of creating the union.
The MLBPA then released an official statement regarding the majority support, along with details about the association’s next moves in the process.
