Show Notes
Luke and Alex discuss the recent large scale cuts of minor league players, the responses of different franchises and how they're taking care of their players (or not), and get into a little bit of labor law to discuss the current labor dispute in MLB, and how that may impact the future. One note - at the time of recording, we hadn't yet seen reporting of the players official counter offer. Join us Thursday on our Facebook page (https://bit.ly/2zOcUN2) for a live discussion of that and all of the developments in the discussion.
For those looking for ways to be an ally in response to the killing of George Floyd, here are a couple of links to get you started:
Black Lives Matter, official site: https://blacklivesmatter.com/
Campaign Zero (legislative and policy changes to end police brutality): https://www.joincampaignzero.org/
Both of these organizations are great places to start, and they can continue to point you in the direction of ways in which you can offer your help to fight systemic violence and oppression.
