Union wins standing to represent retirees of Genesee Community CMH
Teamsters Local 214 sued Genesee Community Mental Health Services on behalf of the union's retirees, concerning the distribution of retirement healthcare benefits. The CMH argued that the Local lacked "standing" to pursue the case for retirees who were not active employees or members of the Local. The Court held that while the Local was not obligated to represent the retirees, it could serve as their agent with standing to sue.
