The charge failed to allege a breach of the duty of fair representation based on union’s agreement to assist charging party at her disciplinary proceedings and recommendation that charging party resolve grievance by taking a severance package; an extra-contractual disciplinary hearing does not give rise to a duty of fair representation charge; an unrepresented employee seeking inclusion in the bargaining unit lacked standing to bring a duty of fair representation charge; the duty of fair representation extends only to bargaining unit employees.
