Umpires' Labor Union drop-out

"31-year veteran umpire, Ed Montague resigned from the World Umpires Association. No media comment has been issued by the World Umpires Association or Mr. Montague." This note appears on the Major League Umpires website undated, listed after a note about umpire pay disputes over the World Baseball Classic (not mentioning Montague or connecting him with the 2 items). I'll keep looking, but so far this Umpire group seems to be as secretive & all powerful as the BBWAA. The World Umpires Assn. is the umpires labor union, having been renamed from the Major League Umpires Assn. after the 1999 resignations.
