NLRB Rules Athletes in College Sports Can Organize

 Feb. 12, 2024 | ORGANIZING | A landmark ruling may change college sports forever. On Feb. 5, the NLRB ruled that basketball players at Dartmouth College are school employees. That means they can hold a union election. If that happens, it would be the first union of athletes in college sports. In September, all 15 members of the teams signed a petition to join the SEIU Local 560, which represents other Dartmouth employees. A possible appeal by Dartmouth and the NCAA could occur, but if the union stands, the players could bargain over working conditions and terms of employment. Labor Press
