Question The article uses the past tense: "Major League Umpires Association was a union" like the association is no longer active, but never states what happened to it. Is it still active? If so then present tense should be used there. If not, when did it shut down, etc... JujutacularT · C18:23, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
