USSF "sat on its hands for seven months" according to players association.
The Women's National Team Players Association has filed a response to USSF's lawsuit over the collective bargaining agreement between the parties.
A quick recap: US Soccer claims that a valid CBA exists between the parties, which includes a no-lockout/no-strike clause. The WNTPA claims that there is only a memorandum of understanding in place which does not extend the CBA and can be declared invalid at will - and that the MOU does not include a no-strike clause. USSF is asking the court to declare a valid CBA in place to, among other things, protect the federation from a strike with several big friendlies and the Olympics coming up.
