CFLPA expects to begin financial negotiations with the CFL soon.
The CFL and CFL Players’ Association have been talking turkey on non-monetary issues pretty much since the start of negotiations March 11-12 in Toronto. The two sides met Monday-Tuesday in Vancouver and are scheduled to reconvene next Monday-Tuesday in Toronto.
"We should be getting close to trying to wrap up the key issues in the next two or three days and then we’ve got to move towards the monetary side of it," Georgetti said during a conference call Wednesday. "We’ve only got about a month and 10 days to get this thing done so we’ll be moving much quicker, I think, in the next session or two and then moving very quickly into the monetary side.
"Oh sure," said Georgetti, who joined the CFLPA in 2016. "As long as the CFL is co-operative we can wrap this thing up very quickly. Ramsay said the union does have the financial positions of the nine CFL teams, as per the current collective bargaining agreement. He added the CFLPA obtained the most recent information prior to the start of contract talks.Albeit grudgingly, Georgetti added.
