Bill > S1929

This bill, the College Athlete Right To Organize Act, establishes collective bargaining rights for college athletes. The key provisions include: 1) Defining college athletes as "employees" under the National Labor Relations Act, allowing them to form unions and collectively bargain with their respective colleges and athletic conferences; 2) Requiring the National Labor Relations Board to recognize multi-employer bargaining units for college athletes within the same athletic conference; and 3) Clarifying that the tax treatment and eligibility for federal financial assistance will not be affected by the compensation college athletes receive as a result of this legislation.
