“ When the basic dispute is between a union and an employer, any hiatus that might exist in the jurisdictional balance that has been struck can be filled by resort to economic power. But when the union member has a dispute with his union, he has no power on which to rely. If Gonzales-written in the spirit of Moore-is to survive, this judgment should be affirmed. ”

“ As a matter of policy, there is much to be said for allowing the individual employee recourse to conventional litigation in his home-town tribunal for redress of grievances. Washington, D.C., and its administrative agencies-and even regional offices-are often distant and remote and expensive to reach. Under today's holding the member who has a real dispute with his union may go without a remedy. ”
