Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
COFFIN, Circuit Judge.
This interlocutory appeal presents a difficult problem of joinder under the Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C § 151 et seq. Plaintiff seeks relief against both the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the New Haven Railroad on the grounds that the New Haven’s failure to reinstate him after discharge for cause was motivated solely by its knowledge of the Brotherhood’s hostile discrimination. The district court has dismissed plaintiff’s action against the Railroad. We must decide whether under these circumstances an employee has a right to relief against his former employer.
