Text: 11 Grievance filed March 1979 and returned unprocessed by employer approximately one month later. Union failed to indicate any determination by it on the grievance, which the district court found was a breach of duty of fair representation. Plaintiff sued March 1980, approximately 11 months after union breach. There is no merit to plaintiff's argument that a remand is necessary to establish when the right of action accrued. District court denied defendants' motion for summary judgment raising timeliness. Judgment for plaintiff REVERSED.
12 Union completed processing of the grievance and decided not to present it to an arbitrator in September 1980. Plaintiff sued August 1981. Action held time barred under Florida statute, 541 F.Supp. 621. Since six months had expired, AFFIRMED.
13 Grievance denied October 1979; suit filed May 1981. Summary judgment for defendants, 538 F.Supp. 725, AFFIRMED.
14 Grievance filed June 1980, union withdrew it, and plaintiff learned of withdrawal October 1980. Suit filed May 1981. Defendants' motion to dismiss denied and interlocutory appeal granted under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292(b). Order denying dismissal is REVERSED.
15 Grievance denied May 1979, suit filed June 1980. Judgment for defendants AFFIRMED.
