ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.
Joe Baker brought this suit against his union, Construction and General Laborers Local No. 264, AFL-CIO, and two union officials, Fred Reagan and Columbus Sumpter. Following a bench trial, the District Court 1 entered judgment for the defendants on all four counts of Baker’s complaint. On appeal, Baker argues that the District Court erred in rejecting his claim that the union’s procedure for referring members for construction jobs violated the duty of fair representation. We affirm.
