Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, JOHN R. GIBSON, and FAGG, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

       Francis Dick appeals the district court's order dismissing Dick's complaint
against his former employer in this employment-related lawsuit. After de novo review,
we conclude the district court's grant of judgment on the pleadings was proper. We
agree with the district court that Dick failed to exhaust his union remedies. We also
conclude that Dick's additional arguments on appeal are without merit. We affirm. See
8th Cir. R. 47B.

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
