Unfair labor complaint filed against Notre Dame over athletes
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) --- An unfair labor complaint was filed Thursday against
the University of Notre Dame for classifying college athletes as
"student-athletes."
The complaint was filed with the National Labor Relations Board by a
California-based group calling itself the College Basketball Players
Association. It said Notre Dame is engaging in unfair labor practices as
defined by the National Labor Relations Act.
The complaint is similar to one filed against University of Southern California
last May by the NLRB's Los Angeles office alleging players on USC's football
and men's and women's basketball teams are employees and not "student-athletes"
within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act.
A phone message and an email seeking comment on the complaint was left Thursday
evening with a spokesperson for the university.
