Unionization
A National Labor Relations Board regional official has ruled that Dartmouth basketball players are employees of the school, paving the way for a union election. The decision allows players to negotiate salary and working conditions. Dartmouth plans to seek a review of the ruling, arguing the students are not employees. The players see the ruling as a significant step forward and plan to form an Ivy League Players Association. The NCAA and universities insist athletes are students, not employees, but the ruling could challenge this view. The case is significant amid ongoing legal challenges to the amateur athlete model. The ruling may lead to increased compensation and player involvement in decision-making. The decision is supported by the Service Employees International Union, and it has implications for college athletes nationwide.
