Local 1922 Pension Fund v. A-G Electrical Supply Co. Inc.
What Happened
A-G Electrical Supply Co. Inc. and its owner, Peter Ray, failed to pay required contributions to employee pension and health insurance plans. These contributions were supposed to go to the Local 1922 Pension Fund and United Employees Health Plan to provide retirement and medical benefits for workers.
What the Court Decided
The court ruled against A-G Electrical Supply Co. Inc. and Peter Ray by default judgment. They must pay $599,595.13, which includes unpaid pension contributions, penalty fees, damages, interest, and the workers' legal costs.
Why This Matters for Workers
This case demonstrates that employers cannot simply ignore their obligation to fund employee benefits. When companies fail to make required pension and health plan contributions, workers lose the retirement security and healthcare coverage they've earned. The court's decision—including penalty damages—sends a message that employers who withhold these funds face serious financial consequences. Workers owed these benefits have legal protection to recover what they're entitled to.
