NLRB Rules Dartmouth Athletes As Employees Of The University
The National Labor Relations Board ruled on Monday that members of the Dartmouth men’s basketball team are university employees, paving the way for the Big Green to potentially become the first unionized program in NCAA history.
Monday’s ruling comes after months of action from the players, starting in September 2023 when all 15 team members signed and filed a petition to unionize with a chapter of the Service Employees Union.
