About NFLPA Northern California Chapter
The National Football League Players Association is the union for professional football players in the National Football League.
Established in 1956, the NFLPA has a long history of assuring proper recognition and representation of players’ interests. The NFLPA
has shown that it will do whatever is necessary to assure that the rights of players are protected—including ceasing to be a union, if
necessary, as it did in 1989. In 1993, the NFLPA again was officially recognized as the union representing the players, and negotiated
a landmark Collective Bargaining Agreement with the NFL. The current CBA will govern the sport through 2020.
