"NLRB Decision: Dartmouth Basketball Players Recognized as Employees, Threatening NCAA Amateurism Model"

The National Labor Relations Board has ruled that Dartmouth College basketball players are employees, potentially opening the door for NCAA athletes to unionize. This decision could allow players to negotiate working conditions and salary. The NCAA and universities have long maintained that athletes are students, not employees, and Dartmouth plans to appeal the ruling. The ruling challenges the NCAA's amateurism model and could have significant implications for college sports nationwide.

Starbucks locations in labor disputes with unions

The Starbucks store in Buffalo, which was one of the first to unionize, has filed a petition to decertify its union. Workers and the union claim that pro-union workers have been fired or pushed out, while new workers are pressured to side against the union. The National Labor Relations Board has filed a complaint against Starbucks for violating labor law. The store needs at least 30% of workers to sign the petition, and a majority of workers to vote in favor of decertification. However, a labor scholar believes the petition will likely be dismissed due to the many unfair labor practice charges against Starbucks.
