Increased Prescription Costs
Higher Prescription Drug Costs in Union Retiree Health Care Coverage
Retired union workers who saw their prescription drug costs increase following a recent contract negotiation may have legal recourse. In general, during new contract negotiations, unions and employers cannot decrease the amount of healthcare coverage provided to employees who retired under a previous agreement. Therefore, if you noticed increased prescription drug costs after you retired, you may have legal rights that could make you eligible for a union retiree class action lawsuit.
Potentially, a class action lawsuit would provide retired union employees the chance to collectively file a claim in court to seek compensation for damages, including increased prescription drug costs.
