CFL, players resume talks

The CFL and CFL Players’ Association has resumed contract talks but the union is now directing its membership to report to training camp so it could stage a legal strike, if required. The two sides met Wednesday and Thursday, their first gatherings since the CFLPA rejected a league proposal last Thursday. The union, in a memo to its players, said it has “planned a work stoppage, if required, that will satisfy labour laws in each of the club’s respective province.”
