The union has filed an unfair labor practice complaint against Dartmouth for refusing to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement, claiming it's a violation of labor law.
Union president Chris Peck emphasized the importance of Dartmouth administration to show leadership and avoid legal liabilities, urging them to honor their own ethics codes.
Dartmouth argues that the basketball players are students involved in athletics, not employees, stating that their educational program includes athletic training—contradicting the NLRB ruling.
Despite the players voting overwhelmingly to unionize, Dartmouth's refusal to engage in negotiations indicates a strategic legal move to challenge the National Labor Relations Board ruling.
