Football & The Court

The Supreme Court has ruled against the football players union, which was trying to sue the National Football League. The justices say the players may not sue on anti-trust grounds if the league imposes certain salary levels, after a collective bargaining impasse. The court says the players' recourse is to the National Labor Relations Board, not the federal courts. NPR's Nina Totenberg reports that the ruling affects all unionized workers, not just the football players.
