Stewart, Plum Express CBA Frustrations to WNBPA

The letter, described as three pages long, comes as the WNBA and WNBPA approach the March 10 deadline for a verbal agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement. Stewart and Plum, both members of the WNBPA executive committee, reportedly expressed "immense gratitude" for Jackson's leadership but also stated their frustration with the limited progress so close to the deadline, which they attribute to "a breakdown in communication."

In their letter, the players requested specific information including detailed breakdowns of the WNBA's expenses and revenue, comparative analyses of potential losses versus gains from continued negotiations, survey results from players regarding the league's latest proposal, and clarity on rookie salaries and distributions from OneTeam Partners. They indicated that without this information, the executive committee cannot fulfill its role effectively.
