Kain Colter starts union movement
For the first time in the history of college sports, athletes are asking to be represented by a labor union, taking formal steps on Tuesday to begin the process of being recognized as employees.
Ramogi Huma, president of the National College Players Association, filed a petition in Chicago on behalf of football players at Northwestern University, submitting the form at the regional office of the National Labor Relations Board.
Backed by the United Steelworkers union, Huma also filed union cards signed by an undisclosed number of Northwestern players with the NLRB -- the federal statutory body that recognizes groups that seek collective bargaining rights.
I cant post links, just Google Kain Colter starts union movement, its from espn.
I put it up because it might be interesting for someone, but my guess is that this would be totally irrelevant for us, right? Because they're not really members of the working class? But im not an expert on "Dialectics" or "Materialism". The comment section is interesting though.
