Charging party alleged that union violated duty of fair representation by refusing to provide further representation in a wage dispute. Union’s decision was based upon a legal opinion that further representation would be unsuccessful. Charge dismissed because charging party failed to demonstrate that union’s decision was without rational basis or devoid of honest judgment.
