Union officials are privately pessimistic about their chances to obtain even a hearing from the Washington board. Despite what they claim is overwhelming sentiment in favor of a Med area union on the part of area employees, and despite a NLRB ruling on a case involving clerical and technical workers at Columbia University's off-campus research facilities--which seems...
