Abstract

This chapter employs Arthur M. Ross’s notion of ‘orbits of coercive comparison’ to explain recent developments in collective bargaining in Australian professional team sports. It focuses on how the Rugby League Players’ Association based its negotiations for an agreement with the National Rugby League on an earlier agreement negotiated in the Australian Football League. The chapter provides basic information on broader developments within both codes, accounts of the negotiation and major features of both agreements and post collective bargaining developments in the respective sports.
