The WNBA CBA negotiations have entered its first extension amid the controversy it has generated so far this year. Now, A\u2019ja Wilson<\/a> has given an insight into how the discussions are going behind the scenes between the players and the league.<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas Aces<\/a> player appeared as a guest on the Good Morning America show on Thursday, where she was interviewed by host Robin Roberts.<\/p>\n

During the interview, Wilson was asked about the state of things in the current CBA discussions between the WNBA and the players\u2019 union.<\/p>\n

In response, A\u2019ja Wilson stated that their collective demands for better wages and equity hasn\u2019t changed and they will stand on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we\u2019re still pushing through,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cBut I think for us, it\u2019s just continue to stand on what we believe in and what it is to be a business and how we handle ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think when you\u2019re thinking about a united front, it\u2019s the WNBA. We\u2019re not going to shake anything until we get what we want.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2025 League and Finals MVP further stated they are also trying to make things better for players who will play in the WNBA years later.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we are tired of the mindset of just be grateful for what you have. No, we need to dive into it,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not just for the women of the league now.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re talking about the women coming up, the future. We want them to have a safe space where they can perform at a high level and get that revenue share and to live on a salary that is what they\u2019ve earned, that\u2019s liveable,\u201d Wilson added.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Now, with the deadline for this extension fast approaching, it remains to be seen if a positive solution that benefits both parties will be agreed in time.<\/p>\n
