That means the minimum salary for this season should have been $38,245.44. Instead, the league announced a new rate: $42,000. That’s a 13.11 percent increase – much higher than what the collective bargaining agreement had in place.
It’s growth in a positive direction. My hope is in a few years the salaries will reach 100% livable and that will take things to a much higher level. We can’t forget this is only the fourth year we’re entering and so far they’re doing all the right things.
Agreed, I hope with the continued success they can start getting paid living wages. I heard that right now, many team members are also roommates because of the low wages.
