There could be more mergers, but Merck, for one, seems to have hit on the less-than-acquisitive solution of partnering with companies that may have a blockbuster in the works.

Despite a climate of intimidation and a year-long legal challenge brought by Harvard, clerical and technical workers—numbering 83% women at the time—linked up with a national parent union and became AFSCME Local 3650, the Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers (HUCTW). HUCTW proceeded to negotiate a contract with Harvard with provisions for women’s pay equity, child...
