The WNBPA does not see the WNBA's latest collective bargaining agreement proposal as something that moves negotiations forward, sources told ESPN on Thursday, 10 days before the current CBA is set to expire. The league's proposal, first reported by the Associated Press and confirmed by ESPN, includes a revenue sharing component that, in combination with a base salary, would allow players to earn a maximum of more than $1.1 million, an average of more than $460,000 and a minimum of more than $220,000.
The WNBPA stands out due to its members' clear understanding of their wants, effectively negotiating through unified action and social justice advocacy, demonstrating collective strength over two decades.
