Mealey's (September 10, 2018, 10:56 AM EDT) -- PASADENA, Calif. — A Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel on Sept. 5 revived a suit brought by a proposed class of retirees who claim that a municipality breached the terms of an employment contract with unions when reducing the amount of benefits they could receive in order to defray the costs of health care premiums, holding that the plaintiffs provided sufficient evidence showing that the county promised them a lifetime benefit that could not be eliminated or reduced (Gaylan Harris, et al. v. Orange, No. 13-56061, 9th Cir., 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 25159)....
