Nneka Ogwumike Informs The Post That WNBA CBA Negotiations Are Progressing Smoothly

After months of negotiations, the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) has finally received a response from the WNBA regarding the new collective bargaining agreement. Nneka Ogwumike, the president of the WNBPA and a forward for the Seattle Storm, shared this update with The Post on Sunday.

Negotiations have been ongoing for nearly five months, with the players’ union previously describing their approach as “aggressive.” WNBPA executive director Terri Carmichael Jackson confirmed that they had submitted several proposals to the league but had not heard back until recently.

Ogwumike did not disclose the specifics of the league’s response to the union’s proposals. However, she noted that the communication from the WNBA came about five days ago, marking a significant step in the negotiation process.

As the players await further details, the focus remains on reaching an agreement that addresses their concerns and aspirations. The outcome of these negotiations is crucial for the future of women’s basketball and the players’ rights within the league.
