More than a dozen former employees of a trucking company filed a lawsuit alleging their insurance was unknowingly canceled. Despite the cancellation, money continued to be deducted from their paychecks.
On April 29, 16 former employees of St. Clairsville, Ohio-based Mustang Oilfield Services filed a lawsuit against the company and its president, Gregory Cook. The suit was filed in a Pennsylvania court since Mustang was doing business at an address at Canonsburg, Pa. The majority of plaintiffs reside in Pennsylvania or West Virginia, with a few living in Ohio.
Like many companies, Mustang offered its employees medical, dental and vision insurance which employees paid a portion of through deductions from their paychecks. Beginning in August 2018, Mustang continued to deduct wages for health insurance despite the fact that no insurance coverage was being provided, according to the complaint. Mustang was not contributing its share of the premium at the time, and the employees’ deductions were not going toward their share of the premium payments either.
