The Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) is launching a $1 million fund to support stadium workers affected by what the union is characterizing as an 'owner-imposed lockout.' The players' union announced Friday that the AFL-CIO will handle the distribution of funds, which will go to stadium workers and others who are faced with lost wages as MLB's lockout enters its 93rd day. The union specifically mentioned broadcast and concession teams, ushers, electricians, security staff, transportation crews, and janitorial workers.'Many aren't seen or heard, but they are vital to the entertainment experience of our games,' union executive board members Andrew Miller and Max Scherzer said in a statement. 'Unfortunately, they will also be among those affected by the owner-imposed lockout and the cancelation of games. Through this fund, we want to let them know that they have our support.'
