Dartmouth College basketball players can vote to join union: NLRB

HANOVER, New Hampshire: This week, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced that men's basketball players at Dartmouth College can vote to join a union as they are the school's employees.

The ruling by Laura Sacks, an NLRB regional director in Boston, is part of a broader effort to reduce student athletes' pay restrictions. It could also be the first successful unionization bid in college athletics.
