Fifteen Dartmouth (DI) men’s basketball players have filed a petition with the NLRB to unionize and join SEIU Local 560. (link, link); Sportico’s Michael McCann and Daniel Libit point out that even if Dartmouth men’s hoops players are designated as employees, that doesn’t mean it can or will happen at other universities because the “NLRA does not govern the relationship between public universities and their workers; that is a question of state labor law and state labor boards, which vary widely across the 50 states, with some ‘labor friendly’ and others ‘management friendly.’” McCann himself notes that “this will take time to play out (years, given the role of courts). As is often true with law, change via law is slow and must go through extensive procedure. So be cautious with the inevitably exaggerated and probably inaccurate media headlines on this.” (link, link); The timeline for Dartmouth Men’s Basketball unionization includes a response by the college by the 25th and a hearing with the NLRB regional director set for October 3, per Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger. Tulane (DI) Sports Law Professor Gabe Feldman tells Dellenger: “If the NLRB determines Dartmouth basketball players are employees, then there is a very strong argument that all private school DI athletes are employees, including walk-ons. The question then would be, ‘Does the NLRB determine that all athletes, public schools as well, are employees?’” Feldman notes the lack of athletic scholarships in the Ivy League may help the effort. “They could claim, ‘We need to unionize to get better treatment in the form of athletic scholarships.’” The rise in union efforts is not foreign to the college, with the Student Workers Collective signing a new collective bargaining agreement in February. Feldman adds: “From the big picture, we are seeing the rise of unions across the country. We are seeing a rise of the workers. It’s a cliche, but a rising tide lifts all boats. There is momentum across the country. It becomes much easier to sell unionization to other groups of employees when you see this wave happening. […] Union success begets more unions which often begets more success. It’s a cycle.” (link)
