nortwestern football players looking to join a union

Will the refs be able to call a penalty on them during the game, or will it first have to go to a formal grievance hearing? Or... since all union members have to be treated equally, will the penalty have to be called on the whole team rather than any single individual player?

The unions will take more advantage of these young men than the NCAA. Naïve 18-21 year old young men equal hay day for the unions.

Seriously. If forbidding us from getting to enjoy our hands being crushed in the mill with no workman's comp. or job security afterwards wasn't bad enough, then they all had to go and get us that stinking minimum wage. Bastards!

If anything, this'll push NU's administration closer to shutting the football program down.

What could happen is the judge might rule in their favor and then you'll start seeing volleyball, baseball, softball, soccer, etc. being dropped by all small universities and eventually the D1 schools...

How do you police this? Do you pay them all the same?

I don't think anyone would deny that unions served a valid purpose... 80 years ago! Would you care to suggest anything of value they've provided in the last three decades?

Not going to even get in to this one. Got thrown out of my grandparents house last time this argument came up.

1) they should be paid something. And it ought to be uniform, across the board. I'm thinking everyone on the scholarship roster at a D1 school gets like 750/mo, plus current tuition room board books etc. No variation permitted.

2) catastrophic disability insurance.

3) health insurance.

#1 I can't say I agree with. Really hard to enforce.

#2, I wholeheartedly agree with.

#3, they already do get something along those lines. Being an investment as they are in the program, I'm sure they are kept in great physical health. And probably doesn't cost them a dime.

Ask my dad about how the union helped him

They negotiated them right out of a job.

Ask all the Goodyear workers in Union City. Oh, thats right, the Union negotiated all those workers out of a job

Just like someone said, Unions, at one time, were great. Then they too got greedy and power hungry. Majority was run by the mob.

Now we have labor laws to protect people from the ugly, mean, job creators
