Notes
Footnote 3 at 1398: a union officer's 'opinion as to the correct construction of the collective bargaining agreement... is an inadmissible legal conclusion. See Fed.R.Evid. 701...; Fed.R.Evid. 704 advisory committee notes (Rule 701 "affords ample [assurance] against the admission of opinions which would merely tell the jury what result to reach.... [The Rule] also stand[s] ready to exclude opinions phrased in terms of inadequately explored legal criteria.")'.
