Underwood v. City of Chicago

Plaintiffs, all civic retirees, appealed from a trial court order granting summary judgment in favor of four of the named defendants that were annuity and benefit funds. The appellate court previously affirmed a grant of summary judgment in favor of the City of Chicago. At issue in the appeal was whether the healthcare plan options offered by the funds were insufficient. The appellate court affirmed, consistent with its prior opinion, finding that the plaintiffs did not have a right to receive the additional monetary contributions or guarantee of affordable healthcare requested that they sought in the legal action.
