Kumar Nambiar, a 34th-round draft pick out of Yale, found himself on a labor panel at the White House on Monday with an audience that included Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.
Yet there was Nambiar, 25, on Monday, along with other President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders , to a panel to discuss burgeoning unionization efforts.
During the 2021 season, when Nambiar was pitching in the lower levels of the Oakland Athletics’ system, minor leaguers were so far from being unionized they were still in the process of being galvanized, spreading the word about their working conditions through the dogged efforts of a few small advocacy groups.
“We’re just trying to do right by the whole. We’re trying to represent the 5,500 minor league players, the 1,200 major league players. That’s what the MLBPA is here to do. So regardless of what politics might say, we’re just trying to make the group better as a whole.”“The headliner will always be the salary. That is always the headliner, pre-CBA, guys struggled with the money. Now the money is more fair. I think housing is also important.
“Having the support of the major league side of the union and the major league players was a huge part of unifying and getting our first collective bargaining agreement. They’re public figures and they have a lot of pull with their followers, so that was huge. And then in terms of other stuff, with day-to-day stuff in the minor leagues, guys are more curious. They’re getting emails. They’re getting updates.
