Finally! The WNBA has a new CBA

On Tuesday, the WNBA agreed on a brand new collective bargaining agreement. This promises to be a huge improvement for the league, and especially for the players.

In 2020, the WNBA players will be eligible for maternity leave, the average salary will go up to $130.000, while the max salary will rise up to $500.000. Furthermore, the women will no longer have to fly coach, but will be in at least economy plus.

Not surprisingly, a lot of people had something to say about this new CBA.

A historic day in the WNBA!

I wanna add the importance of female journalist being involved in the #WNBA CBA news.

You've got women out here everyday covering the ground and getting paid next to nothing (sometimes nothing) to promote the game.

The new @WNBA CBA addressed #WNBATravel + lodging. Players will now get individual hotel rooms on the road, fly in comfort plus seating, and teams will have more flexibility to charter flights when necessary. Take a look back at travel woes from last season. #wnba (A THREAD) pic.twitter.com/GvdutNFLDh
