   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-3491
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - labor law. Labor agreement in question required transferred employees to be "endtailed" in seniority with employees at the plant to which they were transferred, and the fact that the union's bargaining agent would have been worse off if the transferred employees' request for "dovetailing" had been adopted did not mean he breached any fiduciary by failing to negotiate for dovetailing since it could not be imposed without violating the agreement; further, to negotiate for such a provision would have breached his duties to the employees of the plant to which the employees were being transferred.
