In an action alleging that a union breached its duty of fair representation by choosing to distribute the surplus of a settlement fund to the entire membership of the union, rather than distributing it to members who had filed grievances, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where the settlement agreement did not indicate that the settlement was for the exclusive benefit of the individuals with grievances.
