Charlotte Firefighters’ Pension Suit Headed To Trial
A group of 70 former Charlotte firefighters are one step closer to having their day in court, as a judge ruled today that their dispute over how pensions are calculated should go to a jury.
The lawsuit was filed in 2016 and claimed that the city’s method for calculating pension payments left them with only 86% of what they should have been paid. The trial is scheduled for August, 2018.
