Bussen Quarries, Inc. Prevails in Pension Lawsuit
On August 19, 2015, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri ruled in favor of HesseMartone client Bussen Quarries, Inc. and granted its Motion to Dismiss a lawsuit filed by a former employee alleging that the Company violated ERISA when it negotiated out of the Central States Pension Plan and switched to a 401(k). The Court found that the Company was within its rights in doing so and that the Company was not responsible for cuts that Central States subsequently made to the employee’s pension.

Bussen Quarries, Inc. was successfully represented by Adam Doerr and Andy Martone.
