   Judge] 
   Civil case - Labor law. In this action plaintiff, a member of the 
   defendant union, sued it for breach of its duty of fair representation 
   after the union negotiated and the membership passed a new collective 
   bargaining agreement; plaintiff alleged the union failed to reveal all of 
   the provisions of the new agreement; even assuming plaintiff is right, he 
   must still establish a causal link between the union's bad faith and his 
   injuries; to meet his burden, plaintiff must show that the vote to ratify 
   would have been different if the union had discussed the provision at 
   issue; here, the new CBA passed by a 119-vote margin out of the 337 total 
   votes cast, and plaintiff could only produce 9 members who claimed they 
   would have changed their vote with the additional information; on this 
   record, no reasonable jury could conclude that the union's alleged 
   bad-faith conduct was the but-for cause of the ratification of the CBA.
