Current CFL Collective Agreement

Published on November 11, 2009 1:57 PM by dbo.

For reference for the last post and future articles on the Collective Bargaining Agreement, I have posted links to the past two CFL CBA's on the new CBA page.

The Collective Agreement covers, among other things:

• the standard CFL player contract
• arbitration
• number of games and time between games
• training camp length, hours and pay; pre-season compensation
• All-Star game and CFLPA awards and golf tournament
• minimum compensation
• definition of a veteran player
• post-season compensation
• pension plan, medical and life insurance
• roster sizes, negotiations lists, disabled lists, retired lists and roster restrictions
• equalization and expansion drafts
• practice rosters
• CFLPA dues
• fines
• injury grievances
• travel allowance and moving expenses
• substance abuse policy
• miscellaneous benefits (tickets to home games) and rules

Of interest is Appendix "F", Notice to Player Being Placed on Nine Game Injury List, which clearly requires a player or player representative to sign the document to acknowledge receipt of the document.
