William Cameron and Alaska Airlines, Inc., Appellants v. Deborah Chang-Craft, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment against Alaska Airlines, holding that the evidence permitted the jury to find that the Union arbitrarily and egregiously breached its duty of fair representation by withdrawing Chang-Craft's meritorious termination grievance without explanation after substantial delay. The court also held that the evidence provided a reasonable basis for the jury's $479,111 damages award and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying remittitur or a new trial. No separate opinions were filed.
