Citing Tackett, Supreme Court Concludes That Retiree Health Benefits Expired with CBA | Practical Law
In CNH Industrial N.V. v. Reese, the Supreme Court applied its 2015 Tackett holding in concluding that ordinary principles of contract law governed a dispute between retirees and their former employer over whether health benefits had vested under a collective bargaining agreement. Reiterating its rejection of the Sixth Circuit's Yard-Man inferences, the Court held that the health benefits at issue in this case expired with the collective bargaining agreement.
