Rather, we conclude that Pompey is inapplicable to the case before us.
The opinion
Black, J.
(concurring). I agree with Justice Brennan’s conclusion that “plaintiff has sufficiently alleged that his union arbitrarily and with had faith thwarted his efforts to redress his grievance” (ante at p 562). That is enough to call for denial of what in this record is known as a motion for accelerated judgment. *
My vote is cast to reverse and remand for further proceedings consistent with denial of defendant’s said motion. Plaintiff should have costs of all three courts, thus far sustained.
