Cates v. Cooper Tire Company - Murdock Goldenberg Schneider & Groh represents Cooper Tire retirees, and is seeking to represent the entire class of retirees, claiming that they are entitled to fully paid lifetime health care benefits from the company. The retirees have filed an ERISA and LMRA action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio to remove the employer "caps" on those benefits so that the retirees may now receive benefits and protect their entitlement to those benefits in the future.
