Federal District Court Enjoins Termination of Retiree Health Benefits by Moen, Inc. (PDF)
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio Link to more items from this source
Dec. 19, 2013
"The 2005 collective bargaining agreement unambiguously vests the healthcare benefits Moen's retirees presently enjoy .... If Moen wished to reserve the right to cancel benefits after the termination of the collective bargaining agreement, it knew how to do so.... The fact that the parties knew how to reserve the right to cancel benefits but did not reserve that right for retirees shows that they did not intend to give Moen the right to cancel or amend benefits for retirees.... Even if the language is ambiguous and the Court were to look to extrinsic evidence, the extrinsic evidence supports finding the benefits vested. The conduct of the parties over time shows that the parties believed the benefits to have been vested." [Gallo et al. v. Moen, Inc., No. 1:13-CV-02440 (N.D. Ohio Dec. 17, 2013)]
