But the union won't see it that way, and the talks have repeatedly stalled as the policemen have insisted on a settlement of the "morale question" as a prerequisite for the contract talks. The federal mediator in charge of the negotiations last month adjourned the talks until Harvard and the union agree on a third party to help settle the question. Yet Harvard has yet to propose such a third party, and the disagreements have only mounted...
