Perhaps, but U.A.W. officials believe that the Japanese are determined to keep their U.S. plants nonunion, fearing that organization might make Honda's management style unworkable. The U.A.W. and Honda are not taking the hat-and-button battle lightly, nor is the NLRB, which is trying to mediate the dispute. The outcome could affect the U.A.W.'s hopes of unionizing a much bigger prize: a 2,000-worker plant to be built in Marysville, where Honda aims to turn out 10,000 Accords monthly...
...National Labor Relations Board rules that District 65, Distributive Workers of America, may hold an election among Medical Area clerical and technical personnel to determine whether the union can represent them in their dealings with Harvard. The NLRB decision climaxes a two-and-a-half year legal battle between the University and District 65.

Sullivan says she expects favorable results this time around...
...Powers says the University will not easily give ground to District 65's efforts. If the union's appeal to the NLRB for an election is approved, and if workers in the Medical Area vote to have District 65 represent them, the University will still contest the United Auto Workers affiliate's appropriateness as a bargaining unit. "It's very important to us that, as an employer, our units are not fragmented," Powers says. Some envision pamphlet wars similar to the one waged by the administration in 1977. In what District 65 termed an attempt to systematically undermine its organizing...
...even when presented with the NLRB's election policy, Harden maintains that "that's a lot of hogwash." Apparently, Cotrell and Leonard chooses to interpret the law in its own fashion. Another incident is typical of the manner in which Cotrell and Leonard has managed--or mismanaged--the entire dispute: The working employees of the company, organized under Harden's personal secretary, began counter-picketting against the striking workers in early March. Although Harden and his secretary, June McPhail, insist company officials had nothing to do with the counter-activity, the NLRB found this development sufficient grounds for yet another...
