Real Madrid captain Raul has threatened La Liga
chiefs with a mass strike if new measures are not brought in to
protect players' rights.
The 30-year-old, the vice-president of the Association of
Spanish Footballers (AFE), met with representatives from the
Spanish Football League (LFP) to discuss the case of Levante, whose
players twice threatened a strike over unpaid wages.
The AFE want the LFP to sign an agreement which would see each
top-flight club given 84,000 euros to put to one side to pay off
debts to their players should the need arise.
"If there is no agreement and the debts are not overcome, the
league won't start," said Raul.
The AFE have given the LFP until July 5 to sign the agreement,
vowing to call an Extraordinary General Assembly if they do
not.
