The team provided this statement on the situation to KDKA news:"After offering unprecedented wage increases and other economic benefits, we were twice told by union leadership that they would take the proposed agreement back to its membership with their full support. It would be extremely disappointing if members of the union would choose to strike under these circumstances."Talkin’ Baseball@TalkinBaseball_Full story: cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/new…613Full story: cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/new…Fans of the MLB team are largely in support of this strike in hopes that the union can receive what they are looking for.
