United Airlines has agreed to a $6.15 million class-action settlement with as many as 1,000 pilots who claimed the airlines shorted its pension fund contributions to them while they were deployed as military reservists during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The settlement, approved on May 20 by U.S. District Judge William Martinez, is one of the largest involving alleged violations of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, which compels employers to continue providing full benefits that reserve and National Guard members would have received had they not been activated for service.
