NEW YORK -- NHL players have moved one step closer to dissolving their union -- a decision that would allow them to file a class-action anti-trust lawsuit against the league.
The executive board of the NHL Players' Association has asked union membership for a vote that would give it the power to file a "disclaimer of interest," according to sources.
The vote will be held in the coming days.
Should the 30-member executive board be given the right to disclaim interest it doesn't guarantee that it would do so.
NBA players filed a "disclaimer of interest" while they were locked out last season.
However, they ended up agreeing to a new CBA with the league 12 days later and the union was reformed.
The NHL and NHLPA spent two days with a U.S. federal mediator this week but have been able to make progress in collective bargaining talks.
On disclaimer of interest. #NHLPA Board voted to put vote to membership to authorize Board to pull trigger if they chose.
