PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Four railroad workers employed by CSX Transportation, Inc., appeal a summary judgment entered for the defendant United Transportation Union in this suit brought by the workers alleging that the union breached its duty of fair representation.


2
This case is not the first of its genre.  In a careful opinion, the district court held that the facts, taken in a light most favorable to the workers, showed only that the union had been forced to make a decision that would inevitably disadvantage one group of members at the expense of another.  Making this Hobson's choice does not subject a union to liability.   Humphrey v. Moore, 375 U.S. 335, 349 (1964);   Amburgey v. Consolidation Coal Co., 923 F.2d 27, 30 (4th Cir. 1991).  Therefore, we affirm the judgment of the district court and adopt its opinion as our own.  Dunlap v. United Transportation Union, No. 3:92CV83 (E.D. Va.  Oct. 8, 1992).

AFFIRMED
