HANOVER — Dartmouth College’s men’s basketball players voted 13-2 on Tuesday in favor of union representation by Service Employees International Union Local 560.

“Today is a big day for our team. We stuck together all season and won this election,” said Dartmouth juniors Cade Haskins and Romeo Myrthil, in a statement. “It is self-evident that we as students can also be both campus workers and union members. Dartmouth seems to be stuck in the past. It’s time for the age of amateurism to end.”
