The email subject line jumped out from my crowded inbox Wednesday morning, screaming to be read:
U.S. SOCCER FEDERATION, WOMEN’S AND MEN’S NATIONAL TEAM UNIONS AGREE TO HISTORIC COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS.
I read further and smiled as I learned details about the landmark deal. After a lengthy contentious battle, which included a high-profile discrimination lawsuit, U.S. Soccer and players of the U.S. women’s national team and the U.S. men’s national team finally achieved equal pay with identical economic terms. The unprecedented twin collective bargaining agreements run through 2028.
