An electric utility operates in a state with right$-$to$-$work laws. About three$-$quarters of its line workers have elected to join the union that represents them. James, one of the line workers, believes that his supervisor is unfairly passing him over when selecting employees to earn extra pay by working overtime. James wants to file a grievance according to the process in the labor agreement, but he is not a member of the union. What must the union do in this situation?

It must let James join the union so he can fimave representation in the process.

It must allow James to use the process it negotiated, but it need not send representatives.

It has no obligations in this process, because James chose not to be represented.

It must give James representation equal to what a union member would receive. It must give James a copy of the labor agreement, but it need not be involved in the process.
