As someone who has not kept up with any of this, can someone tell me why the refs are on strike?

Pay
Benefits (Pension)

....bottom line is the NFL wants the officials to work fewer games with a 2 1/2% net raise in pay and pay for their own pension. The last I heard the officials want the same number of games with a 5% raise (originally asked for 11%) and the league to co-pay the pension.

Somewhere in there is a workable deal and they need to get it settled.
