FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:
Defendant Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) appeals from a judgment in a suit brought by former ALPA members for a declaration freeing them from the obligation to pay service charges under an agency shop agreement and reimbursement of service charges paid.
On cross-motions for summary judgment, the district court granted plaintiffs’ motion. The court found that ALPA’s insistence that plaintiffs pay service charges was illegal under section 2, Eleventh of the Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C. § 152, Eleventh (1976).
