☝️ It’s important to note that this isn’t a call for an immediate strike, but it is a major escalation as negotiations continue. *gulps*
Players have voted to authorize a strike if CBA negotiations with the league remain at a standstill, with 98% voting yes and 93% participation, a historic show of unity. 👏
With the current CBA set to expire Jan. 9, 2026, players say talks aren’t moving, especially around key issues like revenue sharing and salary structure. 👀
The union is pushing for 30% revenue sharing, compared to the league’s reported 15% offer. 💰
“This isn’t working,” said WNBPA VP Breanna Stewart, emphasizing that players are willing to compromise, but won’t accept being undervalued. 🗣️
The vote doesn’t trigger an immediate strike, but it sends a clear message: players are united, prepared, and ready to fight for their worth. 💪
If no deal is reached, the 2026 season could be delayed or canceled, something the league has never seen before. ⏳
