Dartmouth refuses to engage in collective bargaining with players union

[JerryKutz]

​ Dartmouth would not engage in collective bargaining negotiations with men’s basketball players, who voted to unionize two weeks ago. The union vote, which allows all 15 players to become members of the Service Employees International Union Local 560 chapter, was certified by the National Labor Relations Board. Why is this important? There are those who believe the path to controlling NIL and the portal is through collective bargaining with players to set guard rails just as the NFL does. To accomplish this, the players would need to be unionized employees. There are many within athletics and the acaandemic community who warn against this. The first step toward making the players employees so that they can unionize for collective bargaining occurreand at Dartmouth weeks ago, a warning shot of a movement that may spread. While the refusal was expected, it is another step in what will be a years-long appeals process that Dartmouth will fight and will likely wind up being hear by the Supreme Cout. "While we continue to negotiate in good faith with multiple unions representing Dartmouth employees, our responsibility to future generations of students means we must explore all our legal options for challenging the regional director’s legal error,” the school said in a statement. Dartmouth previously filed a formal appeal of the player organizing effort with the NLRB’s national board and tried to get the vote stopped and case dismissed. It is refusing to collectively bargain in order to trigger another legal mechanism: SEIU Local 560 will file an unfair labor practice charge against the school, a separate but related case that could be appealed into the federal court system.
