Alden Global Capital has been hit with a legal action by union employees at the New York Daily News over health care plans.  

The union filed an unfair labor practice charge, alleging that the company announced a new healthcare plan on September 23 with open enrollment to start on October 21, without the bargaining required by labor law, the union states.  

The plan would save Alden and The Daily News 24.8%, with no savings being passed on to union members, the union adds.  

“Alden obtained the quote for health insurance under false pretenses, and hid it from us while they refused to respond to the proposal for healthcare we gave to them in March,” says Ellen Moynihan, Unit Chair of the Daily News Union. “Now they are trying to bulldoze us into a plan that will only save them money.”
