Recently union has interested in a situation ofOn 18 November Lithuanian service sector workers' trade union chairman Aleksandras Posochovas, lawyer Nerijus Kasiliauskas athletes and union vice-chairman Aleksandras Čiulanovas together with the football players were looking for ways to regain amounts signed in contracts.
The legendary team, whose owner is sentenced to prison, barely survives; its debt reached around 3 million litas. According to N. Kasiliauskas, this situation could continue for at least ten years, but in order to recover the money, and maybe even to save the historic "Žalgiris" team it is necessary to take any action. The best solution - to initiate bankruptcy proceedings. This requires that one or more players initiate the case.
Athletes union intends to apply to the Lithuanian Football Federation and FIFA (Federation of International Football Associations). Most of the players are currently playing in other teams.
