WNBA players are renegotiating their union contract, which is set to expire at the end of October. Athletes are asking for increased salaries and benefits, including maternity options and care, as well as an increased portion of revenue shared.

The union is led by Nneka Ogwumike, Napheesa Collier, Breanna Stewart, Kelsey Plum, Alysha Clark, Elizabeth Williams, and Brianna Turner.

It is unclear when the two groups will have another opportunity for a face-to-face meeting.
