Lee v. Virginian Railway Co‪.‬

It appears from the record that in February, 1945, plaintiff was verbally employed by the defendant as a locomotive fireman; that on January 1, 1938, and June 1, 1953, the Brotherhood of Engineers, Firemen and Hostlers, acting on behalf of the plaintiff and other members of the union, made a contract with defendant fixing the terms and conditions of employment, rate of pay, rules and working conditions, and providing that plaintiff would not be discharged without just cause.
