Norma Rae, not Janet |
Columnist Patt Morrison interviewed UC prez Napolitano in the
LA Times on various issues related to UC. Among these issues is the matter of whether college athletes are essentially employees and thus eligible for unionization. Blog readers will know that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has so-ruled in a case at a non-UC university involving football players. (The decision is under appeal.)
In the interview, we find:
Morrison: What about the movement to unionize student athletes?
Napolitano: Some
NCAA rules look kind of nutty, so I do think it's time for the NCAA to
look at itself, but I think a union's not the way to go.
