WASHINGTON (AP) – The NFL and the players’ union are scheduled to resume mediation Thursday morning, 15 hours before the current collective bargaining agreement expires.
The sides have met for nine days before federal mediator George Cohen, with no reports of significant progress. They talked for four hours Wednesday, before the NFL contingent departed to attend a meeting of the 32 teams’ owners at a hotel 25 miles away in Chantilly, Va.
Wednesday evening, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, two members of the owners’ labor committee and two top lawyers for the league returned to meet with Cohen at his office. The NFL Players Association was not present for that meeting.
