What Does the WNBPA’s Latest Survey Say About CBA Negotiations? Breaking Down WNBA Players’ Votes After Kelsey Plum and Breanna Stewart’s Warning

WNBA and WNBPA, the association representing the league’s players, have been locking horns, negotiating the CBA terms. The association is negotiating for a better revenue share with the league, standing for the players’ cause. In order to gauge players’ mood on how to proceed, the WNBPA conducted a survey, and the results were shared on social media.

A user on X shared the findings of the survey and wrote:

“The WNBPA surveyed players about the WNBA’s latest proposal.

84% of those who responded said they would not accept the league’s latest proposal based on the current revenue share that is proposed.”

The result showed that a massive majority of WNBA players wanted the association to continue negotiating for a better deal. The latest offer on the table is a 50% share of net revenue, amounting to less than 15% of gross revenue in the 8-year deal.

However, the WNBPA has already sent a counteroffer to the league for 26% of the gross revenue share for the players throughout the tenure of the deal. The association and the WNBA have had several meetings, but have yet to reach a conclusion.

“Both need to be negotiated up or down,” Breanna Stewart talks about WNBA-WNBPA CBA negotiations

Vice President of WNBPA, Breanna Stewart, and the first VP, Kelsey Plum, sent a message to both the league and the association and said that “a strike would be the worst thing for both sides.” Stewart, even though positive about the negotiations to work out soon, highlighted the need to improve the terms on both ends.

Stewart did not seem impressed with the two sides’ argument about what the players’ terms should be. She said in a conversation with the media:

“If you look at… the union’s deal, or the league’s deal… both are not ready to be voted on. Because both need to be negotiated up or down, or in a number of ways.”

The WNBA and WNBPA are working to negotiate the best possible deal that benefits everyone and gets the players their deserving right.
