Organization Matters

Sounds eerily like my state.

Organizations like this are slowly starting to find themselves on the wrong side of the employee/contractor argument.

In PA, there is (or was) interest in an organization called Pennsylvania Sports Officials Union (PASOOC), after an NLRB ruling that officials were employees, not independent contractors. I think that ruling was appealed, but I do not know the current status.

The PASOOC was allowed to try and have a majority vote for a union. Not sure how it went on the Eastern side of the state but there wasn't a lot of desire, in my opinion, on the Western side. The last I heard, they didn't get enough people to vote. That may be incorrect though. The state association is being very quiet about the whole thing.

In PA we have the state association, PIAA and each official must belong to a local chapter.
