The NFL Players Association has confirmed it is the target of a federal investigation into whether union leaders attempted to collude with NFL officials by holding a secret meeting to discuss labor talks.
NFLPA official George Atallah said Tuesday the union has been cooperating with the Department of Labor probe, which came to light in a lawsuit filed against the union last week by NFLPA employee Mary Moran. Moran claims she was wrongfully removed from her job and placed on administrative leave with pay on Aug. 3.
Moran says she provided investigators evidence that former NFLPA president Troy Vincent met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, allegedly to provide the league access to confidential union information.
The lawsuit was first reported by SportsBusiness Journal.
