ALAMEDA, Calif. With not minicamps, offseason workouts and other football activities during the NFL lockout, each membership of the Oakland Raiders union is now portion of the ticket staff.

Instead of forcing employees to take pay cuts or unpaid furloughs during the lockout as several teams is doing, the Raiders have implemented a plan that allows people to keep their full salary whether they sell a certain number of season tickets.

"Different teams are taking assorted approaches," Raiders chief administrative commander Amy Trask said Wednesday. "Certainly some teams are taking one approach: How do we dwindle expenses during a work stoppage. We saw at this from the inverse approximate. Let's all work together as an organization,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], every unattached division, to boost our ticket revenues."

To avoid a disburse tear, employees must sell season tickets value 10 percent of their salary during the lockout. For instance, an employee production $60,000 a annual would have to sell $500 value of season tickets for each month of the lockout, which began March 12.

The cheapest season tickets for the Raiders price $260 per year, with the most expensive non-club seats going for $960 annually.

The Raiders have had just two sellouts the past two seasons. They have had 83 of 128 regular-season games blacked out locally on TV because games did not sell out since returning to Oakland in 1995.

"This is a program that's constructive and pregnant," Trask said. "We're working for a staff to build something attach, why when we all over aboard the additional side of this go stoppage we're working to be bigger and better and stronger as that because we have sold more season stamps."

Trask said the plan, which was first reported by America Today, has been received well by the extensive majority of the staff since creature implemented in March. It applies to essentially all employees, including advisers, secretaries, executives and equipment staff.

"It's a prerogative to work for the Raiders and to work for a National Football League crew," Trask said. "Frankly work stoppage or no work stoppage, going out in the community and representing this organization and working to fill the stadium is something all of us should be doing anyway."

The tickets must be paid for 1 week before the 1st regular-season game to qualify, so employees don't absence to obtain fans to pay up until they know whether games will be played.

Trask said you has personally sold enough season tickets to buffet her target afterward the first 2 months of the lockout and has other sales in the works.

While Raiders employees work on selling tickets, the actors have made their own maneuvers for offseason workouts. Defensive lineman Richard Seymour and quarterback Jason Campbell have prepared a four-day "Team Passing Camp" next week in Duluth, Ga.

The camp ambition function on-field drills, weightlifting, swimming or nutritional counseling. Seymour, who are funding the camp, sent out an email inviting his teammates apt attend.

"Men, I hope everybody is well and residing in fashion because we are going to outwork everybody we face this season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it starts right now in the offseason," he wrote.
