NorthWestern Players Will Unionize

[Brady-Carter]

Northwestern University football players cannot form a union, the National Labor Relations Board ruled, overturning a March 2014 decision and ending the players’ bid to change the college sports landscape.

In its unanimous decision, the labor board skirted the issue of whether the players are employees and left open the door to other college athletes winning the right to unionize.

The board cited the unique nature of college sports in saying it would foster instability to permit Northwestern football players to form a union while players elsewhere in the National Collegiate Athletic Association are not.

just got an alert on my phone saying the NLRB dissmisses a petition by NU football players seeking to form a union denying they're university employees.

So how much the judge got under the table?

Man, that decision is bullshyt.
Their rationale is that they have no authority over public sector workers so they're not going to rule over a private school like Northwestern because it will "not promote stability" in the college football leagues?
The fukk?
Since when does that NLRB is responsible to the stability of the Big 10?
And to do so over the labor rights of their workforce?

fukking shameful, all of it.

By the way, they're also destroying all the ballots cast on unionization and they won't count them, because fukk you, that's why.
