"For nearly 60 years, Dartmouth has followed a tradition of bargaining fair and equitable union contracts with our local," union president Chris Peck stated. "It is past time for Dartmouth administration to avoid the looming financial and legal liabilities by grasping this opportunity to show leadership, as the players have, and live up to its own rhetoric regarding the importance of both community and dialogue."
'Athletes in the Ivy League are not employees,' Dartmouth said. 'Given Dartmouth's decades-long commitment to athletics as an extension of our academic mission, we believe the regional director has made an extraordinary mistake in finding these students are employees.'
The union has filed the complaint against Dartmouth due to its refusal to engage in collective bargaining with the basketball players, contending that this refusal violates labor laws.
