Harason, 13 OCB2d 8 (BCB 2020)
Petitioner alleged that the Union breached its duty of fair representation by failing to notify him of the status of his grievance and failing to advance the grievance. The Union argued that Petitioner’s claims were untimely, that it decided not to further pursue the grievance because it was not meritorious, and that its failure to communicate with Petitioner was, at most, mere negligence. The Board held that the Union did not breach its duty of fair representation. Accordingly, the petition was dismissed.
