Players at Bayern Munich, Dortmund and other Bundesliga clubs are taking pay cuts during the league's hiatus in an effort to help other employees at their clubs.
"This is a valuable sign of solidarity," Borussia Dortmund club CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said in a statement yesterday.
Bayern Munich players are expected to take a 20% pay cut, while Dortmund players will "waive part of their salaries." Per the BBC, last week, Borussia Monchengladbach's players were the first in the Bundesliga to forgo wages. Players at Werder Bremen and Schalke have also followed suit.
