(Reuters) - Canada Soccer released details of its proposed collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with its national teams on Thursday, after the women's team launched a protest over pay equity issues and budget cuts last month.
The Olympic champions said the governing body had cut training camp days, full camp windows and the number of players and staff invited to camps, among other issues. The sides agreed to an interim agreement over funding last week.
It added that the negotiations hinged on the pooling of FIFA World Cup prize money and would require cooperation between the men's team, women's team and Canada Soccer. "We’ve been negotiating in good faith and want to get to a resolution with our National Teams," Canada Soccer General Secretary Earl Cochrane said in a statement.
