NHL Files Complaint Against Union

From TSN:

TSN has learned the NHL has formally filed an “unfair labor practice” complaint with the National Labor Relations Board in the United States over the NHLPA’s apparent policy that any NHLPA member who were to become a replacement player next season would have to re-pay the lockout “stipend” he is currently receiving from the union.

Via Jes G?lbez

The NHL will likely take action against any NHLPA policy that makes it harder for current/former NHLers to become replacement players.  One other possible move by the NHLPA to prevent union members from becoming replacement players would be the NHLPA decertifying agents who represent replacement players, which would also be likely to bring on a lawsuit from the NHL.
