An unfair labor complaint has been filed against the University of Notre Dame for classifying college athletes as 'student-athletes.' The complaint, lodged by the College Basketball Players Association, a California-based group, alleges that Notre Dame is in violation of the National Labor Relations Act by engaging in unfair labor practices.
This complaint mirrors a similar one filed against the University of Southern California last May, where the NLRB's Los Angeles office contended that players on USC's football and basketball teams should be classified as employees rather than 'student-athletes.'
