March 5 The mens basketball team at the New Hampshire-based Dartmouth University on Tuesday voted to unionize in a 13-2 vote, becoming the first college sports team to form a union.
The university itself will have until March 12 to file their objection with the National Labor Relations Board against the team who are set to join the local 560 chapter of the the Service Employees International Union, also known as SEIU.
Dartmouth called the vote an « isolated circumstance, » stating their belief « the students on the men’s basketball team are not in any way employed by Dartmouth » and that the university does « not believe unionization is appropriate.
