Steelers Players Hopeful Labor Deal Gets Done

Steelers quarterback and player representative Charlie Batch has participated in the labor talks with owners and was in attendance when the two sides met in Judge Susan Nelson’s courtroom in Minneapolis on April 6th.

Batch is keeping his teammates informed, and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger thinks a deal will get done.

“I feel like we’ll get it done,” Roethlisberger said on Tuesday according to Scott Brown of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “The professionals on both sides will get it done.

“You hear so many ‘sources say this,’ ‘sources say that,’ so you don’t really know unless you’re in there hearing things. We just have to listen to Charlie, what he tells us and just kind of go forth from there. I’m sure both sides will find a way to get it done.”
