Spain's soccer players are threatening to strike over unpaid wages.
The players' union said Monday the dispute could affect games
in the top four divisions between April 16-19. The strike would
disrupt 10 games in the top division's 33rd round of games,
including Real Madrid vs. Valencia and Espanyol vs. Barcelona.
Most of the players owed wages play in the lower tiers. The
union said in a statement a majority of players back a possible
work stoppage.
The union adds that it is willing to continue talks but is
also ready to stop playing.
