The Teamsters Union has filed a federal lawsuit against Sun Country Airlines for not continuing insurance coverage for furloughed workers.
According to the Pioneer Press of St. Paul, Minn., the union, representing 340 furloughed flight attendants, has asked for an injunction to immediately reinstate health insurance coverage. The group reports the Mendota Heights-based carrier is required by law and under contract to continue group health benefits for up to 18 months.
In another claim, the union said Sun Country failed to give workers notice and two weeks pay as required by contract.
Sun Country has been for sale dating back to November.
After losing a reported $80 million in competition against Northwest Airlines, Sun Country finally ended scheduled flights Dec. 8 and began to reshape itself as a charter operation.
