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.
