The labor union that felt Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones violated the National Labor Relations Act for his stance on benching players who kneel or protest in some fashion during the national anthem has withdrawn its complaint from the Fort Worth Regional Office.
Local 100, United Labor Unions, announced its decision on Friday after filing charges almost two weeks ago. Most area labor lawyers felt there was no basis for the claims.
In a news release announcing the decision, Local 100 stated it did so after the NFL has held meetings among owners and players regarding the protests during the national anthem and using the NFL platform to raise awareness for social injustices such as police brutality against people of color.
