Save Mart Supermarkets Retiree Medical Benefits Class Action
Our firm, together with our colleagues at Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, is co-lead counsel on behalf of a putative class of non-union retirees from Save Mart Supermarkets, one of the largest grocery chains in California. In April of 2022, Save Mart attempted to terminate medical benefits it had promised to hundreds of its non-union workers in their retirements, medical benefits those retirees had spent decades, in many cases their entire careers, earning through hard work and loyal dedication to the company. We represent four plaintiffs who have brought a class action lawsuit against Save Mart under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), currently pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The case is called Baker v. Save Mart Supermarkets LLC, Case No. 3:22-cv-4645-AMO.
