I read the first of the board decisions that was referenced...although not the rest of it.
What I do know is that its pretty tough to make unfair representation charges stick against a union. A member might not like the way their union dealt with a particular grievance but that in and of itself doesn't constitute unfair representation.
My understanding is that the complainant would have to show that the union acted with malice or engaged in discriminatory behaviour against the member. From the one board decision I read it seemed that the member just did not happen to like the way their union dealt with the member's grievance.
Sometimes a union (or a lawyer for that matter) will advise you to "take the deal" instead of pressing for outright victory.
