SINCE EARLY MARCH, in a sixth-floor hearing room of the National Labor Relations Board in Boston, lawyers representing Harvard and lawyers for a New York-based labor union have met an average of three times a week before an NLRB hearing officer to present opposing positions. Frequently, University administrators such as Daniel Steiner '54, Harvard's general counsel; John B.
