Ongoing labour dispute boils over as Canadian soccer teams slam Canada Soccer
The ongoing labour dispute between Canada Soccer and its men’s and women’s teams boiled over Friday with threats of job action from the women and a call for Sport Minister Pascale St-Onge to step in from the men.The two teams laid out a list of grievances in separate open letters posted on social media.
“Despite our strong track record of success and history-making achievements for more than a decade, we continue to be told there is not enough money to adequately fund our program and our youth teams.” The women say the number of players and staff coming to camp has been cut, as have training camp days.
“How Canada Soccer is allocating or using funds is unclear and cloaked in secrecy,” their statement said. The statement did not specify the job action but called for “new leadership” if the governing body is “not willing or able” to support the team.
