Williams v. Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 192 C
Manuel Williams (Williams) was employed as a bus operator by Alameda-Contra Costa Transit (AC Transit) and was a member of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 192 (Local 192), the exclusive labor representative for AC Transit employees. Faced with discharge for alleged misconduct, Williams entered into a last chance agreement which required that he complete a counseling program, and provided that noncompliance would result in termination (Agreement). Williams’s noncompliance with the Agreement led to an expedited arbitration and his job termination. Williams sued Local 192 alleging it breached its duty of fair representation by failing to notify him of the arbitration and failing to adequately investigate and to explain his noncompliance to the arbitrator. Local 192 filed a motion for summary judgment, which was granted.
