Women Soccer Pros In The Newly-Launched USL Super League ‘Go Union’ With The Communication Workers Of America

Female Soccer Players in the newly-launched USL Super League (USLS) have voted to join the United Soccer League Players Association-Communications Workers of Ameria (USLPA-CWA) Local 7211.

The new unit, which USL voluntarily recognized, has 190 Players.

The USLS is a Women's Soccer Professional League in its inaugural season and currently has eight clubs: Brooklyn FC; Carolina Ascent FC; Dallas Trinity FC; DC Power FC; Fort Lauderdale United FC; Lexington SC FC; Spokane Zephyr FC; and Tampa Bay Sun FC.

"I’m really excited that the USL Super League is becoming part of the USLPA,” USLPA-CWA 7211 Organizer and USLS Player Rylee Baisden said. “This integration is a big step, bringing Male and Female Players together under one united voice.  I’m grateful to be part of this journey as we work to support each other and create positive change for our sport.  Looking forward to what we can accomplish together.”

Members of USLPA-CWA 7211 are breaking new ground in Professional Sports as it is one of the first Professional Players’ Associations where Men and Women Players are in the same Union.
