WNBA and Players Union in Intense CBA Negotiations: Revenue Sharing and Housing at Stake

The WNBA and its players union are engaged in critical negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement, with revenue sharing and player housing as the main obstacles. The union, led by president Nneka Ogwumike, has proposed a 26% share of gross revenue, while the league offers over 70% of net revenue. On housing, the union suggests keeping team-paid housing for early years and phasing it out for higher earners, while the league proposes covering all players next season and only rookies, minimum-salary players, and developmental roster spots in the future. Both sides aim to reach an agreement by Monday to avoid disruptions to the season starting May 8th.
