041274P.pdf 11/02/2004 Alfonso Waldron etal v. Boeing Co.
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-1274
Eastern District of Missouri
Civil case - labor law. If an employee does not agree with the results
reached through the procedures of the Collective Bargaining Agreement,
the employee, in order to bring an individual suit directly against the
employer for breach of the Agreement, must allege and prove the union
breached its duty of fair representation; here, failure to allege the union
breached that duty was fatal to plaintiffs' Section 301 claim and the
district court did not err in granting defendant's motion for judgment on
the pleadings.
