The WNBPA is the first and only labor union comprised of professional female athletes. The WNBPA exists to:

  • Represent WNBPA Players in collective bargaining with the WNBA to gain improved working conditions, economic benefits and job security for all members.
  • Engage in educational, legislative, social welfare, community or other activities that will advance and safeguard the economic security and general welfare of WNBA players, during and after their playing careers.
  • Enter into cooperative efforts, such as those with other labor unions, women’s groups and charitable entities the WNBPA deems to be in the best interest of its members.
  • Provide a myriad of services and support mechanisms to its members, including agent certification, legal representation/arbitration services, player programs, contract negotiation assistance and a liaison with team management.
  • Provide programs designed to advance the employment, social and post-playing lives of WNBPA members, including graduate school tuition reimbursement, off-season internships, financial planning, mental health support, substance abuse education and career management.
