Chapter 32 Luck & Fortune

After the meeting ended, Quinn and Cohen immediately went about collecting votes from the players.

Cohen drafted a very simple ballot that read, "I hereby vote to decertify the National Basketball Players Association, and no longer wish to be represented by collective bargaining."

Then, Quinn and Cohen distributed photocopies to player representatives, who would take the forms back to their teams after the All-Star Game and collect the signatures of all active players, eventually gathering them into the hands of Larry Flesher.

It could be said that this All-Star Game once again became a major node affecting labor relations, but unlike in the past, the chaos off the court did not affect the stars' performance on the court.

Flesher and the union's people considered that the NBA was indeed developing well, and whatever the struggle between the players, the ultimate goal was still for both the employers and employees to share in the fruits of victory.
