Description
The plaintiff, Maria Martinez, brought this suit against the automobile workers union under a provision of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that forbids a union to discriminate on invidious grounds such as race. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(c). She charged that because she is a Mexican-American the union had induced her employer (originally a codefendant, see 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a), but later dropped) to deprive her of her seniority with the company. On the unions motion for summary judgment, the district court entered judgment for the union and dismissed the case on the ground that Miss Martinezs claim was barred by the statute of limitations. She appeals. The union offers as an additional basis for affirmance a ground that it included in its motion for summary judgment but that the district court did not reach: that Miss Martinezs claim is utterly without merit.
