Heading: Unfair Representation Claim

Text: 11 The district court correctly held that the six-month limitations period applied in DelCostello barred appellants' unfair representation claim. See Beardsly, 850 F.2d at 1265. 12 The district court correctly found that appellants' unfair representation claim accrued upon their discovery, in 1983, that they did not have lifetime seniority under the implementing agreement. Appellants challenge that finding, citing an indication in an earlier opinion in the Beardsly case that this court was concerned not with plaintiffs' awareness but with unfair representation. The argument is unavailing because that earlier opinion was vacated and revised, the language on which appellants rely being removed. Beardsly v. Chicago & N.W. Transp. Co., 836 F.2d 1493, vacated, 850 F.2d 1255 (8th Cir.1988).
