Labour peace in the CFL, as the league and the player's union have reached a tentative contract agreement. Here's the story from the Canadian Press:
TORONTO -- The CFL and its players' association have reached a tentative deal on a new collective bargaining agreement, avoiding a potential lockout this season.
The deal still needs to be ratified by the players and the league's board of governors.
The current deal expires at the end of the month. With negotiations not going well, there had been talk in the off-season of a possible lockout.
According to a statement from the CFL on Wednesday, the new agreement includes a drug testing policy but no details will be released until the deal is ratified. No other details from the agreement were released in the statement.
Labour issues are rare in the CFL. In years when the two sides couldn't get a deal done before the expiration of the previous one, they've operated under the terms of the old CBA until a new one was reached.
