United Stock Committee Settles Employee Lawsuit
The committee that oversaw United Airlines’ employee-stock ownership plan settled a class-action lawsuit for $5.25 million that was brought on behalf of UAL Corp. employees.
The settlement will be paid by insurance, a law firm representing the committee said.
