yep, I can't find any NS's for union.edu that will respond authoritatively.

o Unable to locate an authoritative name server for "union.edu."
     It was not possible to locate an authoritative name server for
     the domain "union.edu.".  No further testing of the zone will be
     possible.

You probably have zone file syntax errors in you master server so 
none of the slaves will transfer the zones. so go find you the DNS 
which is the master for the union.edu slave and get to work.
