The US women’s national team replaced the head of their Players Association on December 28 last year; since then, their collective bargaining agreement negotiations with US Soccer seemed to have started inching forward again.
Now Andrew Das at the New York Times says that the team is continuing that negotiation in Texas as they prepare for two friendlies against Russia on April 6 and April 9 in Frisco and Houston respectively. The Texas negotiations are just the latest in apparently over 20 meetings in 2017, which included daily meetings in February as the team prepared for the SheBelieves tournament.
