Description
This is the second appeal in this case concerning unfair representation and breach of a collective bargaining agreement. Plaintiff-appellee, William Ruzicka, filed this action in federal court on June 31, 1971 alleging that he had been unfairly represented by the defendant-appellant, International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America and its Local Union 166 during his attempt to gain reinstatement to his employment with defendant-appellant, General Motors Corporation through the collective grievance procedure. Ruzicka also alleged that his discharge by General Motors was wrongful because rulings of the collective bargaining agreement's impartial umpire showed that the correct disciplinary action for the type of conduct he allegedly committed would be temporary suspension. Jurisdiction of the actions against both union defendants and General Motors was based upon Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 185.
