The ongoing 43rd Jones Cup in Taiwan sparked controversy as the women's basketball players were assigned 3,000 NTD per game, while the men's team received 5,000 NTD, creating an apparent 'equal work, unequal pay' situation. In response, the Pro-League Union issued a statement emphasizing that the value of equality should be respected and urged authorities to address the issue seriously, highlighting the deep impact on Taiwan's ongoing efforts for gender equality. The Union reiterated its commitment to equal treatment regardless of gender and expressed readiness for discussions on fair agreements while rejecting attempts to undermine trust or segregate the union internally.
