Outcome
The Second Circuit affirmed summary judgment for the Union, holding that Greenberg failed to establish a genuine issue of material fact regarding breach of the duty of fair representation. The court found the Union could not advocate for reinstatement to a job that no longer existed and that any promises made by the Union involved only an internal union matter not giving rise to a duty of fair representation.
