Title

Los jugadores de fútbol fijaron ayer su posición en el conflicto

Subject

Players state their case of striking

Description

The FAA releases a statement that blames AFA and club directors of the impasse and postponement of the 1948 season. In the letter, the players union points out that the first formal grieveances they issues to AFA took place in 1945. Their decision to strike stemmed for the unwillingness of club directors to negotiate in good faith, the slow process at AFA, and the inability of government officials to intervene and find a solution. The FAA also points out that AFA only recognized it as a formal players union in April of 1948 after players were ready to strike at the beginning of the season. The immediate cause, however, dealt with the increasing hostility and refusal to negotiate by club officials. This letter was designed to persuade the public that AFA and its member club associations were at fault, and that the goal of club directors primarly centered on de-legitimizing the position of the players union (accusing them of not being professional, treating British referees with hostility, trying to destroy the league, etc.)
