Players' union files grievance against the NWSL over its High Impact Player rule

The National Women's Soccer League Players Association has filed a grievance against the league for its adoption of a “High Impact Player” rule that allows teams to spend up to $1 million over the salary cap to sign players that meet certain criteria. The union said the league's action violates the collective bargaining agreement and federal labor law because player compensation must be negotiated. The NWSLPA maintains the league has no authority to “unilaterally create a new pay structure.”
