Facing the threat of legal action from Canada Soccer, the Canadian women\u0027s team has reluctantly agreed to return to training.
Added forward Janine Beckie: “We will continue to demand more. Lasting change is a fight we’re in for the long haul.”
In a separate statement, Canada Soccer said the players “were not and are not in a legal strike position under Ontario labour law.” It said a labour settlement “once concluded, will be a historic deal that will deliver real change and pay equity in Canadian Soccer. It is a goal worth getting right.” Sinclair also points out that the men played 19 games that year, including 14 World Cup qualifiers. The women played 17 and won Olympic gold.Article content
“We presented an equity-based proposal to our national teams and their counsel several months ago, and we are still waiting for a definitive response to the terms of that proposal,” the statement said. “Our perspective is that they’ve always just assumed we would never take the next step. We’ve always tried to do things the nice, polite, right way, if you will. And it’s gotten us nowhere. If you look around women’s football in general, a lot of women’s teams have had to take this stand at some point to truly make a difference. And this is our time.”Article content
The women sent Canada Soccer a list of their demands Thursday, opting to take job action when they did not get a response. They include playing a home game ahead of the World Cup.
