This could have sweeping implications for MLB's anti-trust exemption as well. I believe that exemption will be nullified in the coming years. It's frankly almost criminal how these PROFESSIONAL baseball players are compensated for the hours spent on the job. If you do the math it comes to about $2.75/hr. How that has been allowed to continue is beyond me. Conditions are improving but I think that is in response to rulings like this that might threaten the exemption. Owners can say, "look we're improving conditions" etc. while still paying them less than what they could earn at McDonalds.
