In January 2008, the MLB Fan Association, a non-profit organization, was founded, establishing a collective Union for the MLB Fan Base. The charter of the MLBFA is to vigorously advocate and defend the interests of the consumers of America's National Pastime.
Franchise owners interests are promoted through the MLB Commission, and players interests via the MLB Players Association. Due to this effective organized representation, Player salaries are astronomical, and Franchise profits & valuations are astonishing.
Conversely, the unrepresented MLB Fans face ever increasing costs: Exorbitant ticket prices; Ridiculous stadium concessions; Unreasonably priced team merchandise; Games aired via franchise owned pay cable TV; Government tax exemptions & subsidies.
TV, Radio, Print & Digital media advertising campaigns will be launched Q2, 2008, calling on all MLB Fans to show their support for the MLBFA, by registering with the Union. For maximum visibility & impact, the MLBFA will initially target the Tri-State metro area MLB Fan demographic.
Once Union membership reaches critical mass, the MLBFA will present Articles of Intent to the MLB Commission & MLB Players Association for good faith negotiation. Should formal grievances not be recognized nor considered by the Owners & Players, effective Union Action will be initiated.
