Multiple WNBA players Monday struck down the idea of striking, with one high-ranking union executive going as far as saying a “strike would be the worst thing. ” While negotiations for a new WNBA collective bargaining agreement have intensified in recent weeks, Kelsey Plum, the first vice president of the Women’s National Basketball Players Association, said the WNBA and players remain at odds over several labor-related issues. Negotiations remain ongoing, but Plum highlighted that the league’s agreement to create a revenue-sharing model involving players is a positive development.
