United States Seventh Circuit

In a suit by a union contesting employment actions taken by a railroad, dismissal of the suit is reversed where the National Railroad Adjustment Board denied the union due process by requiring evidence of pre-arbitration conferencing to be presented in the on-property record, a requirement not clearly enunciated in the statutes, regulations, or the collective bargaining agreement of the parties.
