COREofOEA's class action suit against the OEA

From John Curry, October 7, 2007

COREofOEA (OEA retired staffers) has presented arguments 9/13/07 (through their attorneys) to judges in the U.S. District Court in Cincinnati in September in reference to their class action lawsuit against the OEA for taking back benefits in what COREofOEA claims is a violation of their contract with the retirees. Here is a copy from their (COREofOEA) website including a link you can click on to hear the presentation of COREofOea's attorney. Hopefully we will soon know of the results of this court appearance.John

6th District Court of Appeals

Oral Arguments

were held on September 13, 2007. The hearing was attended by over 30 retirees and no one from OEA except counsel. That pretty much tells the story. CORE of OEA has obtained an audio copy of the hearing and you may listen to it by clicking here or going to the legal activities area.

We invite all to listen to the arguments. Listen to the OEA attorney lie to the court to advance their case. It has come down to OEA wanting to advance positions via their attorneys to try to win their case against retirees that are extremely harmful when applied to their own members. The Appellate Court Judges understand, too bad to this point OEA leadership has been going blindly forward with total disregard for its members welfare.

Listen for yourself and see what you think.
