The NFL Players Association filed a grievance on Tuesday against the suspension and fine given to Plaxico Burress after he accidentally shot himself in a nightclub more than a week ago.
The union claims that the Giants violated the collective bargaining agreement last week when they placed Burress on the reserve-non-football injury list, suspended him for the final four games of the regular season, and fined him an additional week's salary for conduct detrimental to the team.
