WNBA players call league's current proposal 'unsustainable,' stay 'committed to the fight' for better CBA

The WNBA players union and league officials had a face-to-face meeting on Thursday in Indianapolis regarding a new collective bargaining agreement. However, the meeting did not result in the two sides getting any closer to a new deal. 

"The WNBA's response to our proposals fails to address the priorities we've voiced from the day we opted out," said a statement issued by the WNBPA, "a transformational CBA that delivers our rightful share of the business that we've built, improves working conditions, and ensures the success we create lifts both today's players and the generation that follow." 

"We've told the League and teams exactly why their proposal falls so short," the statement continued. "This business is booming — media rights, ratings, revenue, team valuations, expansion fees, attendance, and ticket sales — are all up in historic fashion.

"But shortchanging the working women who make this business possible stalls growth. The only thing more unsustainable than the current system is pretending it can go on forever." 

The statement ended by saying "We are committed to the fight" and that the players were "committed to returning to the negotiating table."
