NLRB invites briefs on issues in the Northwestern University Athletes Case

The Board invites the filing of briefs in order to afford the parties and interested amici the opportunity to address issues raised in Northwestern (Case 13-RC-121359). 
On April 24, 2014, the Board granted Northwestern University’s request for review of the Regional Director’s decision finding the University’s grant-in-aid scholarship football players are employees under the NLRA and directing an election to take place.  The election was held on April 25, 2014, but the ballots have not been counted.
To aid in the consideration of the issues raised in the case, the Board invites the filing of briefs from the parties and interested amici on or before June 26, 2014.
