Heading: Seeking Zyglo Sorter Justice

Text: On August 12, 2008, Balser filed a Complaint in the District Court for the District of Massachusetts against GE and Local 201. Balser asserted two counts in her Complaint. First, she argued that Local 201, her collective bargaining representative, had breached its duty of fair representation owed to her as a union member. Second, she contended that GE breached the terms of the CBA between GE and Local 201. GE and Local 201 filed Motions for Summary Judgment on May 17, 2010. The district court heard arguments on the motions on October 1, 2010. [14] On October 4, 2010, the district court entered an order granting GE and Local 201's Motions for Summary Judgment in their entirety because Balser could not show that GE's reclassification of the Zyglo Sorter position constituted a violation of the CBA by GE. Balser, 2010 WL 3927719, at -6.
