800.04000 – Scope of Duty; Internal Union Affairs

Duty of fair representation applies only in union's representational relationships. It does not apply to union's internal procedure for the recall of a chapter president. R.A. dismissal upheld.

801.00000 – UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES;RESTRAINT, COERCION, INTERFERENCE OR DISCRIMINATION
801.03000 – Employee Right to Participate; Improper Discipline or Refusal to Admit to Membership

Recall of chapter president where nonmembers allowed to vote does not state a prima facie violation of organization's section 3543.1(a) obligation to establish "reasonable" provisions for discipline. The action did not remove the former president from union membership, and was not disciplinary in nature.
