U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-3734
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport
[PUBLISHED] Kelly, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Melloy, Circuit
Judge]
Civil case - Labor Law. The Union had reasons to believe that arbitration
of an issue regarding scheduled rest breaks would not be successful, and
its decision not to pursue a grievance was not arbitrary or a breach of
its duty of fair representation; since summary judgment in favor of the
Union was properly granted, summary judgment in favor of the employer was
also proper.
