Federal judge sides with Oshkosh Corporation workers in dispute over sickness and accident claims

A federal judge rules in favor of union workers at the Oshkosh Corporation in their lawsuit over the way the company handles medical claims. Judge William Griesbach orders Oshkosh to return to the practices it employed before switching to Cigna in 2017 to administer accident and sickness benefits. Union members claimed Cigna demanded unnecessary personal information to file claims and punished employees that missed work while claims were processed. The two sides will now jointly review accident and sickness claims that were handled by Cigna over the past five years.
