Notre Dame Charged by NLRB, College Basketball Players Association Claims Misclassification
Apr 19, 2024, 02:01 AM
An unfair labor practice charge has been filed against Notre Dame with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), alleging that the university has improperly classified its athletes as 'student-athletes' rather than employees. This charge, brought by the College Basketball Players Association and similar to existing complaints against institutions such as USC and the Pac-12, contends that this misclassification denies athletes their rightful employee rights. The case, which involves all Notre Dame athletes, will be handled by the Indianapolis NLRB office. Notably, the charge did not originate from any Notre Dame athlete.
