Very significant, if correct, that the CBA will guarantee a share of gross revenue. While there's still a way to go before they get in the ballpark of what NBA, MLB, and NFL players get, this is a big accomplishment. The players fought hard for revenue sharing based on gross, not net.

My early take on the #WNBPA #WNBA contracts is it's early for takes.
"The average revenue share would be nearly 20% across the length of the deal, though it remains unclear exactly what that revenue share system -- a main flashpoint in negotiations between the WNBA and the Women's National Basketball Players Association -- ultimately looks like."
The expiring contract guaranteed a share of net revenue after big and convoluted deductions. The NBPA, MLBPA and NFLPA get around 50% gross. Getting a healthy share of *gross* is hugely important, because net is more subject to outside forces and creative accounting.
Proud of the players for big gains and hope the 20% is of gross, no deductions or qualifications.
sports labor unions like the #WNBPA prove collective bargaining is necessary to set the baseline in wages, earnings and benefits for workers of all kinds, including athletes.
tech workers, especially software developers, have been gaslit about not needing #labor #unions. if high-earning workers like multimillionaire athletes and actors can be unionized, tech workers should be too.
