A jury has awarded $54.2 million to former employees of a New York Catholic hospital who were denied their pension benefits. It’s the culmination of a legal battle that AARP Foundation helped launch more than six years ago.
On December 12, jurors in the New York state civil trial ruled in favor of 1,124 former employees of St. Clare’s Hospital. The plaintiffs in Hartshorne v. Catholic Diocese of Albany had alleged that the diocese and several other defendants had mismanaged their pension funds, denying them retirement income they had long counted on.
