OPINION
RICHARD MILLS, District Judge.
The bottom line.
Summary judgment for the Union.
United Transportation Union (Union) represents operating craft employees of Norfolk Southern Railroad (Railroad). Jesse Fulk and Donald Cearlock are former employees of the Railroad and. former members of the Union.
After much litigation—including two appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit—only one issue remains in this case: Did the voting procedures used to decide whether to approve the Railroad’s buyout of certain “productivity funds” violate the Union’s Constitution? ■
