Labor issues are often widely covered in the major sports league, but often minor league or developmental league players are left out of the conversation. In MLB, minor league players are not represented by the player's union. As a result, minor league players do not have the same protections as other players. The Giants have just announced that they will offer their minor league players a pay raise as well as housing allowance, to improve their standard of living.
