Players Union end Serie A strike threat

The Italian Players' Association have called off their strike for this weekend.

The AIC had called a strike for the weekend of December 11-12 in protest at the failure to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement, but talks went on for seven hours on Tuesday.

"We are taking advantage of the public holiday to check with the players if this deal is acceptable," explained AIC Vice-President Leonardo Grosso on Radio Sportiva.

The issue of forcing transfers on players has now been scrapped, while the matter of making players train separately from their teammates will be decided during the campaign.
