Alcoa Fights Retirees' Lawsuit Over Health Benefit Plan Changes
LawyersAndSettlements.com Link to more items from this source
May 11, 2022

"[R]etirees brought an ERISA lawsuit ... to block Alcoa's announced plan to change the way in which it provided collectively bargained retiree health benefits [namely, by replacing lifetime health benefits for certain retirees with a program of annual HRA contributions] .... Alcoa now contests the plaintiffs' bid for class certification, arguing that the retirees are not similarly situated because they worked at different facilities, were covered by different collective bargaining agreements, and had different levels of benefits. Plaintiffs contend that they, nonetheless, suffered the same injury." [Simpkins v. Alcoa USA Corp., No. 20-278 (S.D. Ind. complaint filed Dec. 10, 2020; response to motion for class certification filed Apr. 25, 2022)]
