Description

1 This case examines the scope of a public employee unions liability to its members for alleged inadequate representation during a grievance proceeding. Plaintiffs, who were members of the New Mexico Federation of Teachers-TVI, Albuquerque TVI Faculty Federation Local No. 4974 AFT, NMFT, and the American Federation of Teachers ("Union Defendants"), were fired from their jobs as full-time teachers at Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute ("TVI"). Plaintiffs requested Union Defendants to represent them in a grievance against TVI seeking reinstatement and back pay through the procedures established in the Collective Bargaining Agreement between Union Defendants and TVI. However, after obtaining a favorable arbitration decision concluding that Plaintiffs could file a grievance challenging their terminations, Union Defendants allegedly negotiated a settlement with TVI without consulting Plaintiffs, effectively waiving Plaintiffs grievance. Plaintiffs then filed a lawsuit in the district court against Union Defendants, asserting: 1) breach of the duty of fair representation, based on a negligence standard; 2) breach of the collective bargaining agreement of which Plaintiffs were third-party beneficiaries; 3) breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing implied in the collective bargaining agreement; and 4) breach of a fiduciary duty. The district court dismissed Plaintiffs complaint under Rule 1-012(B)(6) NMRA 2006, concluding that Plaintiffs did not state a cause of action against Union Defendants.
