800.00000 – UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; DUTY OF FAIR REPRESENTATION
800.04000 – Scope of Duty; Internal Union Affairs

A union does not owe a duty of fair representation to unit members in a forum over which the union does not exclusively control the means to a particular remedy. Thus, refusing to assist charging party to enforce a provision of the Education Code is not a violation of the duty of fair representation.
