MLBPA Leader Tony Clark to Step Down Amid Licensing Probe

Tony Clark will resign as head of the Major League Baseball Players Association amid a U.S. Attorney probe into One Team Partners, the union’s licensing venture. The move comes as talks to replace the expiring collective bargaining agreement begin in April, with management reportedly proposing a salary cap that could spark a work stoppage. Clark, 53, led the union since 2013 and oversaw 2016 and 2022 agreements; Bruce Meyer is expected to lead negotiations moving forward.

SFUSD strike exposes planning gaps and a healthcare win for teachers

The San Francisco Unified School District’s four‑day teachers strike ended with a negotiated win for educators—fully funded family healthcare and a roughly 5% pay increase—after months of deadlock. The district’s late bargaining, unresolved non‑monetary issues (sanctuary campuses, AI policy) and thin contingency plans left administrators on the back foot when sympathy strikes by principals and other staff shut schools. Public support from families helped sustain the strike, but the district faces ongoing fiscal pressures and tougher bargaining ahead as money and staffing concerns linger.

WNBA Owners Return with Small Concessions in New CBA Counteroffer

WNBA owners sent a counter-proposal to the players’ union, keeping revenue sharing below 15% of league revenue and reintroducing a limited housing plan tied to a developmental roster (two spots per team with per-game pay and housing benefits, including studio apartments for lower-salary players and one-bedroom units for early-career players in the initial years). The league also offered non-economic concessions (pregnant-player trade consent, no marijuana testing, higher performance bonuses) while salaries remain well below union expectations. Talks continue ahead of a May 8 season start, with concerns a deal by early February is needed to avoid delays.

WNBA CBA Talks Stall as League Pledges Formal Response, No Counteroffer Yet

In New York, the WNBA and its players’ union held a roughly three-hour in-person meeting, but the league did not present a counterproposal to the union’s latest offer and instead said it would prepare an official response. The players seek a $10.5 million cap and a revenue-share model based on total revenues before deductions, plus housing, retirement benefits, and professional standards; the league’s prior offer featured a $1.3 million max salary and an average salary over $530k under its revenue-sharing plan. About 40 players joined via Zoom, with leadership from both sides and several team owners in attendance. While reports of internal EC debate emerged, players say there is no fracturing. A strike remains possible but is not imminent, and more talks are required before any decision on labor action.

CBA talks resume as WNBA players warn of strike risk

As WNBA CBA negotiations resume, talks are at an impasse with a potential strike looming. A high-stakes in-person meeting in New York will bring WNBPA leaders like Nneka Ogwumike, Kelsey Plum, and Napheesa Collier together with league officials to push for a larger revenue share, a higher salary cap, and protections such as housing; Natasha Cloud publicly criticized the league’s approach. The union seeks roughly 30% of gross revenue and a $10.5M cap, vs. the league’s offer of around 15% of gross revenue (70% of net) and a $5M cap, while free agency remains on hold and the 2026 season approaches. The outcome could mark a turning point in negotiations.

Players have historically fought caps, and with the CBA expiring Dec. 1, a 2027 lockout remains a real possibility if negotiations stall; past labor battles show the potential severity of the dispute, though a deal could still avert a full stoppage.
