Another issue that they are supposedly stuck on is a grading and punishment system. Seems the union doesn't want their bad refs to get benched.

Unless they make this their fulltime jobs then I can't see why they would be offered a pension. These refs are being a bit greedy IMO. Considering the amount of games they work in comparison to other leagues they are well compensated.

Refs shouldn't be treated any different than any other job. If you are performing poorly, then you should be nervous that another man is looking to fill your shoes. Do your damn job and do it correctly as it has a direct effect on the post season, player contract negotiation, and disrupts the flow of the game. If you want to get paid pretty damn well, then you need to be the best of the best.

Having said that, you are right. This is a second job to most of these guys. |

It's all about leverage. Who needs who more?

What the NFL wants is basically what the vast majority of businesses are doing these days, so I can understand the NFL's position ideologically. I'm just surprised that it's a major sticking point because the amount of money involved (I heard it's around $3 million) is so insignificant compared to the billions of dollars that the NFL makes. |

Should a business base the salary of its employees on the number of hours worked in a year or on the value added by the employee?

What I hate is their protection of the "tenured" refs that suck ass. If they are struggling, they need to be benched. |

Agree... This is my biggest beef with union jobs. If you want to keep your job, then you have to be better than the next guy in line who's hungry for the job.
