Credited from: VOX

  • Dartmouth basketball players recently withdrew their petition for unionization after a historic vote, making them the first student-athletes to attempt such a move.
  • The withdrawal was influenced by the upcoming Trump administration and anticipated changes to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which may become less supportive of labor rights.
  • Union advocates, while adjusting their strategy, emphasize the ongoing fight for fair compensation and working conditions for college athletes.

  • Despite setbacks, movements to recognize athletes' rights may continue through alternative negotiation routes and broader advocacy efforts in the future.
