So there you have it, they are out on strike because they cannot get a pension for a part time job?

Agree! Most of the union covered NFL refs have/or had other jobs. Why are they making an average of $70k a year for doing their work at 16 games (that’s $4-5k per game) and, if they are graded well, more games into the playoffs with an even higher pay per game.
The BIG question is: Why are NFL field officials even unionized? .......Doesn’t that just open the door to union corruption in the gambling industry, by impacting the games’ outcomes through crucial calls on the field?
Like Ref's have not on their own blown calls? ,p> How do you think the public demanded instant replay?
Ref's blew so many calls
