United States DC Circuit

In a suit alleging that a union violated its duty of fair representation, petitions for review of an NLRB decision that determined that the union's financial disclosures were adequate but also held that the union had not justified its expenditures are denied where: 1) the charging parties' claim was not properly before the court; and 2) the union failed to show that its organizing activities were permissible expenditures for objecting nonmembers' dues.
