WNBA Players Ask For Higher Salaries After Breaking Record

After a historic season that saw attendance rise across the league, WNBA players say they want salary increases and better benefits. WNBA players are demanding higher salaries from the league after a historic season.

A day after the dramatic conclusion of the WNBA Finals, the WNBA Players Union announced Monday, Oct. 21 that it is opting out of its collective bargaining agreement with the league and will now negotiate a new contract between the players and their employer.

“The WNBPA Board of Player Representatives and WNBPA Executive Committee have decided to opt out of the 2020 WNBA/WNBPA CBA on behalf of the collective,” the union wrote in a statement on social media. “It’s business.”

ESPN, NPR and CBS News report that the players union is asking the league for an increase in player salaries, an upgrade to team facilities across the league and better health and family planning benefits.

“This is a defining moment, not just for the WNBA, but for all of us who believe in progress,” Seattle Storm star and WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike said in a statement, according to ESPN. “The world has evolved since 2020, and we cannot afford to stand still. If we stay in the current agreement, we fall behind.”
