DIGITAL MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS INTERN

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYERS ASSOCIATION

The Major League Baseball Players Association is the union that represents Major and Minor League Players, enabling them collectively to defend and advance their workplace conditions, benefits, rights, and common interests. It has a long and proud history of standing up for the rights of its members – past, present and future.

The Association negotiates the terms and conditions of employment for Players under contract with Major and Minor League Clubs and defends their existing rights under the terms as set forth in the Basic Agreement (the collective bargaining agreement). The Association works closely with the union’s Executive Board of Player representatives as well as the agents it certifies to represent MLB Players.

The Association, under its business arm, MLB Players, Inc., markets the collective rights of Players through the licensing of companies, sponsorship of brands that want to associate their products with Major and Minor Leaguers and the development of new initiatives. Player-licensed products include trading cards, collectibles, electronic games, digital, apparel and novelties.

The Association also oversees the operation and administration of the Players Trust, a charitable foundation that is the first of its kind in professional sports. Through the Players Trust, Major Leaguers contribute their time, money and celebrity to call attention to important issues and encourage others to get involved in their own communities.
