Increased Co-Pays
Higher Co-Pays in Retired Union Employee Health Care Plans
Retired union members who noticed that their medical co-pays increased may be able to participate in a class action lawsuit to seek compensation associated with this reduction in healthcare benefits. Allegedly, during new contract negotiations, some unions and employers have cut retiree union healthcare benefits, sometimes offering signing bonuses to active members who are reluctant to sign the new agreements. These new contracts have allegedly kept benefits the same for active members, but raised co-pays and other healthcare costs for retiree union members, even though their pensions were not increasing.
If you noticed an increase in co-pays or other costs in your union healthcare plan following retirement, your legal rights may have been violated. To find out if you can seek compensation for increased co-pays and other financial losses, complete our no cost, no obligation case review form today.
