In a groundbreaking ruling earlier this week, a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) official declared that the basketball players of Dartmouth College are employees of the school and have the right to form a union. This ruling has sent shockwaves through the world of college athletics, prompting other athletes from Dartmouth and Ivy League schools to express interest in joining the unionization effort.
Romeo Myrthil and Cade Haskins, the two Dartmouth players at the forefront of the unionization drive, revealed that they have been inundated with messages on social media since the ruling was announced. They expressed their surprise at the level of curiosity and interest from other athletes who see the opportunity for real change in the future.
