How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • “[Plaintiff] did not need formal notification to realize that the union would not help him and that he needed to bring suit himself.”
  • letter to union official was “a general appeal for help, not the invocation of a formal union procedure”
  • “As they knew or should have known that the grievances would not be processed, they surely could have taken some action in this regard many months earlier”
  • letter to international union and local union’s legal counsel did not serve to toll limitations period; “if it did then plaintiffs could toll the period forever simply by going up the ladder of union officials, informally asking each one for help.”
