The WNBA and its players union have entered a seventh day of collective bargaining negotiations without reaching a new labor agreement, with talks described as marathon sessions.

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert indicated that progress is being made toward a new collective bargaining agreement despite the extended timeline. The negotiations have now stretched across multiple days as both sides work to reach terms on a new labor deal.

The ongoing talks represent efforts to establish working conditions, compensation structures, and other terms that will govern the relationship between the league and its players. The current negotiations follow the typical collective bargaining process used in professional sports leagues.

Neither side has indicated a specific timeline for when an agreement might be reached, as the discussions continue into their second week. The extended nature of the talks suggests both parties are working through complex issues that require detailed negotiation.
