WASHINGTON, D.C.—The National Labor Relations Board invites the filing of briefs in order to allow parties and interested amici an opportunity to address the issues raised in Columbia University (02-RC-143012), including whether the Board should modify or overrule its decision in Brown University (342 NLRB 483), in which it held that graduate assistants who perform services at a university in connection with their studies are not statutory employees under the National Labor Relations Act.
Briefs from parties and interested amici must be submitted on or before February 29, 2016.
