The NWSL Players Association has successfully negotiated a new collective bargaining agreement after 10 months of discussions, significantly improving player rights and benefits.
A determined group of players, assisted by the NWSLPA's executive team, dedicated months of effort, including caffeine-fueled marathon bargaining sessions, to finalize the new agreement. The negotiations reflected rapid growth in the league's success and a desire to enhance player rights.
Burke emphasized the dedication shown by the athletes during negotiations, noting extensive communication and preparation prior to each bargaining session, often running late into the night.
Despite a demanding schedule, including a break before the Olympics, key athlete representatives prioritized their involvement in a process that reshaped the future of the NWSL.
