Dartmouth basketball team drops effort to unionize ahead of Republican NLRB control

Dartmouth College’s men’s basketball team is halting efforts to unionize, withdrawing an effort before a labor board with appointees named by President-elect Trump might consider it.

“While our strategy is shifting, we will continue to advocate for just compensation, adequate health coverage, and safe working conditions for varsity athletes at Dartmouth,” Chris Peck, president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 560, told The Associated Press of the decision to halt the efforts.
