Power At Work Blogcast #106: Organizing College Football Players

In this blogcast, Burnes Center for Social Change Senior Fellow Seth Harris is joined by Jason Stahl of the College Football Players Association and Tremayne Anchrum Jr., Clemson Tigers alumnus, to discuss the effort currently underway to organize college football players so they will be able to bargain with their schools over their working conditions.Watch now to see answered: Are college athletes, and college football players in particular, employees of their universities with the rights to organize and bargain collectively under federal and state laws? To better understand this question, Seth, Jason, and Tremayne will discuss the lives of college football players and what their work weeks look like, both during the season and off-season. They will also discuss whether this is the right time to engage in a novel form of worker organizing, given the ferocious union busting and anti-union attitudes of the current President of the United States.Connect with Power At Work: Website: poweratwork.usTikTok: @poweratworkblog Instagram: @poweratworkblog Twitter/X: @poweratworkblog Facebook: poweratworkblog LinkedIn: power-at-workJason Stahl is the founder and Executive Director of the College Football Players Association.
