U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-2051
District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Bye, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - labor law. Union's decision to pursue advisory Alternative
Dispute Resolution rather than full arbitration was not arbitrary,
discriminatory or made in bad faith; union agreement to limit back pay
damages as part of the advisory ADR process did not breach union's duty
of fair representation; union's failure to inform plaintiff of the cap on
back pay did not rise to level of arbitrary, discriminatory or bad faith
conduct and did not establish a breach of its duty of fair representation.
