Yes, agreed.
When the owners agree to do that, the players will quite likely withhold their services, and the owners can then hire other players to participate in their scheduled games.
I recently turned down a job that I didn't feel would pay me enough money for my services, I took a different job for less money that I felt did pay me enough for my services. The first job found somebody for less than what I turned down. Everybody won.
