	NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NHL collective bargaining agreement is the basic contract between the National Hockey League (NHL) team owners and the NHL Players Association (NHLPA), designed to be arrived at through the typical labour-management negotiations of collective bargaining.
		The most recent agreement, tentatively reached on July 13, 2005 after a labor dispute which caused the cancellation of the 2004-05 season, was ratified by the NHLPA membership on July 21 and by the league's Board of Governors on July 22.
		On the expiration date of the old agreement, the NHL Board of Governors, representing ownership, met and unanimously decided that the 2004-05 NHL season would be delayed until a new collective bargaining agreement is signed into place.

	Collective bargaining - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Collective bargaining consists of the process of negotiation between representatives of a union and employers (represented by management, in some countries by employers' organization) in respect of the terms and conditions of employment of employees, such as wages, hours of work, working conditions and grievance-procedures, and about the rights and responsibilities of trade unions.
		The British academic Beatrice Webb reputedly coined the term "collective bargaining" in the late 19th century: the OED quotes her use of it in 1891 in Cooperative Movement.
		In the United Kingdom collective bargaining has become, and has received endorsement for many years as, the dominant and most appropriate means of regulating workers' terms and conditions of employment, in line with ILO Convention No. 84.

		First, as NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman stated, "… revenues will be at an all-time high for this league…" As we argue in The Wages of Wins, labor disputes have not been found to harm league attendance.
		Clearly, though the average NHL team has improved its financial picture, and in the end, that is the real bottom line on the NHL’s cancelled season.

		The exception is Spain, where all professional players have a "buy-out clause" written into their contract and can therefore move without their club's agreement.

		For example, under the current NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement, restricted free agents who do not sign contracts by December 1 of a given year will be ineligible to play in the NHL for the balance of that season.

		When the NHL's current collective bargaining agreement was ratified last July, numerous hockey pundits proclaimed it to be an unequivocal victory for the league and the team owners.
		It had been believed at the time of this agreement's ratification last July that arbitrators had to choose between the player's request and the team's offer, with no settling on a middle figure that guaranteed a raise for the player regardless of the decision.
		It appears now that too many of the players' critics focussed on the wrong issues in their assessment of which side "won" the NHL's contentious labor war, neglecting to closely examine what the PA had negotiated for the players.
