A union did not breach its duty of fair representation when it refused to take action on behalf of a member who was fired from a company in charge of placing ad posters throughout New York City's subway system. Southern District of New York Judge Sidney H. Stein said the union had the discretion not to arbitrate the case, and that courts reviewing such a decision must afford a union "unique latitude" so as not to impede its effectiveness as a bargaining unit.
