CFL, CFLPA have started discussing monetary items in collective bargaining
TORONTO — The CFL and its players have started talking money.
The league and CFL Players’ Association concluded two days of talks Tuesday. The meetings were the first between the two sides since April 9.
Since talks formally began March 11-12, the league and union have spent a lot of time discussing non-monetary items. While some remain unresolved, union executive director Brian Ramsay said the issue of money is now on the table.
“There’s urgency in the sense that all items are being discussed now and we do have training camps opening up,” Ramsay said. “The urgency comes because the goal of the players hasn’t changed.
