The WNBA appears to be headed towards a work stoppage. The league and players are currently supposed to be negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement with the season fast approaching, but the last few weeks have seen nothing but inactivity on both sides.
The WNBA players association submitted their latest proposal weeks ago and it was met with silence. According to ESPN, “The league believes the proposal didn’t warrant a response, since it wasn’t that different from the past ones the union has submitted—and instead, sources told ESPN, it’s waiting for the players to submit what it would consider a more ‘realistic’ proposal.”
