Courie v. Alcoa Wheel & Forged Prods., No. 07-4440

In an action claiming that plaintiff's employer and a union discriminated against him by settling his union grievance via an agreement that branded him a racist, dismissal of the complaint is affirmed where there was nothing improper about the union negotiating an agreement whereby plaintiff admitted that he should not have used inappropriate language in exchange for a warning to be stricken from his record.
