Outcome

The appellate court reversed the trial court's denial of the union defendants' motion to dismiss, granting dismissal of hostile work environment and retaliation claims against the Professional Staff Congress and Barbara Bowen because plaintiffs failed to allege that discriminatory acts were undertaken by union representatives acting on behalf of the union or related to union activity, and failed to adequately plead retaliation elements.
