Motion to compel arbitration is denied. Under the agreement between the union and the employer, the right to demand arbitration for wrongful discharge is that of the union. Since the union takes the position that the discharge in this case was justified, petitioner has no rights in law or in equity in the absence of a clear showing of bad faith on the part of the union.
