Women's College Athletes Unionize | Portland News
Description
Oregon State’s women’s basketball team, alongside players from other schools, has officially filed to unionize — a historic first for women’s college sports. Over 100 athletes have signed on, driven by frustration with empty promises and demanding real protections, fair pay, and a voice in how their programs are run. Backed by advisors from the NWSL and WNBA, including Nneka Ogwumike, this grassroots movement is gaining momentum, with interim leadership from powerhouse programs like Maryland, LSU, and UCLA. Their message? The game is growing, their labor matters, and a union is the only path to lasting change.
