Plaintiff brought this action alleging that defendants Ryder P-I-E Nationwide and Helms Byrns had breached a provision of a collective-bargaining agreement and that defendant Local 24 breached its duty of fair representation by mishandling the ensuing grievance proceedings.  The action was tried to the district court who granted defendants' motion to dismiss at the conclusion of plaintiff's case.  This appeal followed.  On appeal the parties have briefed the issues, plaintiff acting pro se.
