...though the committee portrays parity as a natural outgrowth of collective bargaining, one can easily imagine cases where two principles might conflict.

But if union negotiation is the only proper way to set wages, then why shouldn’t Harvard be able to purchase the contractor’s services in good conscience regardless of whether...
Emergency is the outgrowth of one man's crusade against the kind of misery he first confronted while serving in Kabul with the Red Cross in 1991.
