3 unions join lawsuit over state pension changes
Three employees unions will be allowed to sign on to a lawsuit by the Maine Association of Retirees against the state's public pension system over the elimination of cost-of-living adjustments for state employee retirement benefits.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Torresen issued the ruling Tuesday, allowing the Maine State Employees Association, the Maine Education Association and the Maine State Troopers Association to intervene in the lawsuit, according to a press release from the Maine State Employees Association.
The Maine Association of Retirees first filed the lawsuit in February of this year.
According to the release, this case continues to await a date for its first hearing.
