Another marathon WNBA CBA negotiation drags past 3:30 a.m. with no deal done

Another marathon negotiating session between the WNBA and its players union didn’t end with a new collective bargaining agreement

Another marathon negotiating session between the WNBA and its players union didn’t end with a new collective bargaining agreement.

For the seventh consecutive day, the two sides met for over 12 hours and while they said progress was being made heading into Monday’s negotiation session, there was still work that needed to be done when the sides ended discussions for the night around 3:30 a.m. EDT Tuesday.

Revenue sharing continues to be the big sticking point between the sides.

Neither side spoke to reporters after the session, but both had said earlier Monday that progress had been made over the last few days.

“We’re working as hard as we can to get it done as quickly as possible,” WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said after Sunday’s 15-hour session finished that also ended after 3 a.m. “It’s complex. There’s a lot. There’s a lot of system elements. There’s a lot of structure elements. ... This is a big, big league and we want to do everything we can for the players. So, we’re going to keep making progress.”
