...administration's behavior in resolving the strike itself has been deplorable, however. It has consistently shown its disdain for its employees by refusing to bargain with them in good faith, by rejecting even their lowest-level wage demands, and by simply refusing to negotiate until the union representing the 60 striking workers agreed in advance to accept the university wage offer.

And on November 17, the NLRB will begin prosecuting Cambion for refusing to bargain in good faith. There is a fair likelihood that Cambion will be found guilty once again, but probably only after months of appeals and legal delays. And even then, only the traditionally light sanctions stipulated in the National Labor Relations Act will be imposed: posting of notices in the factory saying the company has bargained in bad faith and will now change...
