Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The union has a duty to its members to represent them fairly and in good faith. However, this duty does not require the union to pursue every grievance that a member requests. If the union believes the grievance is without merit, it may choose not to file it. As long as the union acted in good faith and did not act in a discriminatory or retaliatory manner, it has not violated its duty to the member.
