How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the statute of limitations starts to run when an employee knows, or through reasonable diligence should have known, of union’s actions constituting the alleged DFR breach
• holding that the ag grieved party either knew or should have known that the union did not process her grievance in 1991, and thus she did not establish a continuing violation extending limitations period to 1997
• hybrid cases entail an employer’s breach of the CBA and the union’s breach of its duties to grieve the wrong committed by the employer
• “[t]he fact that the union did not directly notify Christiansen that it failed to file her grievance in 1991 is not itself a bar to accrual”
• union’s continuous failure to file a grievance is not a continuing violation
• construing similar limitations period under NLRA
