In the absence of agreement with the Professional Football League (LFP) on the collective agreement, the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE), announced this morning the call for a strike to the first two days of beginning on La Liga 2011-2012 is scheduled for Saturday August 20. The players union president, Luis Rubiales, communicated the decision in the presence of over a hundred players, including the Spanish captain, Iker Casillas, and other international and Carlos Puyol, Xabi Alonso, Fernando Llorente, Javi Martínez and Santi Cazorla, and presidents of associations of players from other countries, including the global union (FIFPro):
The players have come together and we've said enough already. We have taken the final decision, unanimous strike responsible for convening the first two days. The league will not start until they sign a new collective agreement.
AFE president wanted to make clear that the strike call does not involve the union will leave the negotiating table to try to reach agreement on the agreement but warned that unemployment could be extended if the disagreement persists.
A players can not be asking for more. Footballers do not want more money, wants to enforce contracts, to ensure debts past, present and future and that you enjoy the game as a healthy competition, equal where players are treated equally on a computer in another.
Rubiales reported that the agreement "unilateral" adopted by the LFP last day 3 until 2015 to create a fund to guarantee the salaries owed to players from clubs in the competition is insufficient "to cover the debts this year and generated after "
We do not want only palliative measures. We have proposed, as exists in Germany, England or Holland, there preventive measures. There, the club will not pay not compete. We have asked the players who are owed three months rent to break his contract and it seemed we had reached an agreement, but was left aside. The agreement of the League ignores everything covered.
Football Notes In celebrating the arrival of Luis Rubiales and his companions to the presidency of the AFE . We are glad that after so many years of living under the surreal position of subordination to the employers represented by the LFP, the players union finally have a management team whose main interest was concerned about the players from the media star to the last federal professionals. Since then we have followed the work of the AFE with great interest and there is no doubt that things have changed substantially. In just fifteen months we have seen as AFE is next to all those professionals who have problems with their clubs, mostly economic and contractual.
Another of his achievements was when earlier this year forced the RFEF and LFP to meet again after several years without making a commitment to reserve one of the friendliest of the selection to host the AFE Day. The money raised from ticket and television rights for the match against Colombia on February 9 last, was spent on providing all areas of Second Division B of a defibrillator equipment to meet the emergency cardiac in nature that may occur at the facility.
However, not diminished one iota of merit to this, the greatest achievement has made the new direction of the AFE is something that began as something abstract, intangible, but this morning has begun to take shape. The RFEF and Above all, the LFP know that they can not handle the players and have them at will, but now have a union perfectly capable of bringing together all under the same emblem. Already measured the forces between employers and the AFE when there was attempted rebellion by the controversy of the first day of 2010. AFE then backtracked and refused to force the issue. Many thought that this would have weakened. But it is not. It is seen that Rubiales and yours have been able to take the matter intelligently. At that time, with little room for maneuver, that is, meet, agree, etc., chose not to make players between a rock and a hard and risk was divided.
Through their actions, the new team has been able AFE gain the respect and confidence of the players of First and Second Divisions, as evidenced by today's press conference in which many players supported with their presence Rubiales while reading the press release, among many others, captains of Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Athletic, etc.. It is clear that the players of the big clubs are not the first who are suffering in the flesh as the excesses of despotism in the direction of the clubs. I would not even be anything for one year without pay, with everything you have earned. But no doubt that their presence enhances the strength and support of the decision taken by the SFA, while, why not say that their participation is not without some basis of solidarity.
We'll see how the story evolves. I think that has already accomplished something very important: the union of the players under the banner of their union. Hopefully, the SFA, they have proven they deserve a great deal of credibility, let's see how they react to those who think they can do with the Spanish football whatever they want.
