Retired printers get cheaper prescription co-pay cards, as per judge's order

Gina White sent me this email:

John--

We received our prescription cards back from the BJ today!

Of course, we have to see if the BJ is going to appeal but, in the meantime, the prescription benefit has been reinstated!

Only those named in the lawsuit received their cards.

The last I heard it would only apply to everyone once it was declared a class action. And, I don't think we're there yet.

The lawsuit was filed under Dave and Gina White's names, but there are 10 retired printers named who got the new prescription cards with co-payments of $5 or less.

The retirees were represented by Subodh Chandra of Chandra Law Firm, Cleveland, Ohio; Donald P. Screen of Cleveland, and Allen G. Anderson and Kenneth M. Petterson of Smith & Johnson, Traverse City, Michigan.

The Beacon Journal was represented by Brett K. Bacon, Gregory R. Farkas, Michael J. Frantz, and Joel R. Hlavaty, of Frantz Ward, Cleveland, and David G. Utley of Davis & Young, Akron.
