The current collective bargaining agreement expires in May and Georgetti said better job security for CFL players, whose contracts — like those in the NFL — aren’t guaranteed will be on the table.…
Since 2016, he’s served as a senior adviser with the CFL Players’ Association. Georgetti is a former president of the Canadian Labour Congress and has over 35 years of labour relations experience.
“I do think guaranteed contracts should be and will be discussed,” Georgetti said during a conference call Thursday. “The thing I found that’s most different from what I’m used to is the relationship between the players and their employer. Georgetti and executive director Brian Ramsey will spearhead the union’s bargaining committee. The unit will also include president Jeff Keeping and executive member Marwan Hage — who also participated in the ’14 negotiations on the players’ behalf — as well as assorted union members.
“We need to talk about what a real partnership is,” Georgetti said. “A real partnership is sharing both the risk and rewards . . . I think the sharing of the risk is disproportionate and as you can see from the financial sharing of the rewards it’s abysmal frankly.” “It’s good to have a person with good skills and knowledge in collective bargaining on the other side.”“Ken’s played an instrumental part in insuring the connection of all of our members and that the communication has been strong,” he said. “I foresee Ken being a big part in that role to ensure the immediate concerns of the entire membership are met.”
