Lamb reportedly believes the $33 million per year offer is too low

[America's Cowboy]

Yes, I do. Unions set the standard for wages

These aren't your daddy's or grandpa's unions anymore.

33 M$ is too low.

Lol they still set the standard. Next year, electrician in Texas will make $39 an hour, non union shops aren't starting off jman at that rate. You dont know what you're talking about

I think greed is always there , but both sides need to get it done now. It seems petty ,

Greed goes both ways. The nfl is making record revenue so players want their fair share

33 M$ is too low.

If you look at the market he has a fair argument

And how much of that is going to the union in fees?

A private non union shop employee will make more.

Union costs are ALWAYS passed on to the customers with higher prices.
They are a completely unnecessary middleman.

Lol not true, im in the trade. Jman are not starting off at that rate

Not if he actually wants to play on a good team with other talented players around him.

At some point…..you have to share it with your coworkers.

 

[conner01]

The Cowboys may hold firm and see if CeeDee is willing to throw away one million per week, missing games.

They could try that but every player they are trying to sign now and in the future will see that and that could be an issue. This should have been done months ago but I don’t think 33 is gonna get it done

How good a team is has nothing to do with what they pay. This is their job and it’s a very short career

 

[Robbieac]

You didn’t answer the question.

How much in wages are paid to the union?

On top of that….Those fees ARE ALWAYS passed off to the customers in higher prices.

The union bosses make money, and every day Joes like you and me get screwed with higher prices.

Stop chirping and go join a union. Lots of pro-union talk coming from someone who is not even a union member.

 

[HungryLion]

Regardless of the union or not. It doesn’t have much to do with Ceedee’s situation.

Ceedee is arguably the second best WR in the league. This contract is likely to be the biggest payday of his career.

I think he will be playing week 1 regardless.

The bosses of non union shops are making money too. And yea, they pay for a fee for better wages and work conditions. Every day joes get screwed everyday by non union companies

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

It’s getting done bottom line. They’re not gonna walk away from a few million difference

Again, I stated my reason

 

[Smith22]

The Packers-Cowboys Playoff Game tape from January says #88 isn't worth that kind of money.

Using that logic, 90% of the team shouldn't be here.

 

[KJJ]

It should’ve been done sooner, but Jerry continues to operate under deadlines make deals.

Unions SUCK. I used to belong (and pay monthly dues for years) to one (IAFF - International Association of Fire Fighters). When I ruptured 2 discs and herniated a 3rd disc in my lower back during a house fire scene, my employer (a city) tried to go the cheap route. They put me on a 6 month medical leave with my pay reduced by 1/3rd per month before realizing I needed career-ending lower back major surgery. Forced me to make financial cuts to what I "paid" monthly to. Couldn't afford my UNION monthly fee those last few months before surgery and followed by disability retirement. When my inevitable forced disability retirement meetings with my employer (city) came up, that UNION refused to show up and represent me just because I had failed to pay those last 3 months of monthly dues due to my financial disability crunch/hit reduction in pay. I had paid my expensive dues for years and volunteered for years on my days off to help my local and state union chapters, but when I needed them most, they absolutely failed me. Didn't even acknowledge me or the years I had financially and physically put into them. Forget them. Unions suck!

Yeah, not the HFD union. Look it up, we fought for 8 years but got the win and 6 figure checks for those who were active from 2017 to present. If not for the union HFD would still be without a contract.

I get what your saying though. We just happened to have a great local. We didn't until 2016, 17 or so. Unions can go either way.

What department were you in btw? I agree your union reps were trash.

The clown show that is Jerry never ends. He could’ve signed Cee Dee for much less and he would’ve been happy but because he waited the market was reset and now it feels like a lowball offer and quite frankly embarrassing.

But it’s also the fact that Lamb probably feels disrespected and I don’t blame him. He’ll do the same thing with Dak and Parsons as well.
