: AFL-CIO NOW BLOGBreaking: Judge Orders NFL Teams to Stop Reducing Workers Comp for ex-Players
By James Parks
In a landmark ruling, U.S. Judge Paul Crotty of the Southern District of New York issued an injunction today requiring all NFL teams and owners to stop seeking to reduce the workers compensation benefits due to former NFL players as a result of injuries they suffered while playing the game.
While the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) won an earlier ruling on this issue, teams and owners ignored the decision on workers compensation cases around the country. Judge Crotty said ignoring the order is unlawful and has ordered teams to continue paying these former players the injury benefits to which they are entitled.
Workers compensation is a significant benefit for former players who suffered severe injuries during their playing days. The NFLPA brought this case to protect those men and to force NFL teams and owners to live up to their obligations to the game?s greats.
