Agency
Petition for Review - NLRB. Union petitions for review decision of
NLRB to dismiss unfair labor practice complaint against newspaper.
Number of journeyman situations guaranteed lifetime employment was
subject to two constructions and thus was ambiguous. Absent proof of a

insisting union discuss number of position as part of negotiations for a
