SAGINAW, MI Several Saginaw police officers have filed a lawsuit against the city they work in and their own union, alleging a contract change is forcing them to work years longer before they can retire with full health care coverage.
Attorney Victor J. Mastromarco Jr. on Feb. 9 filed the lawsuit in Saginaw County Circuit Court on behalf of current officers Bradley Holp, 37; Roger Pate, 45; Matthew Carpus, 35; and Steven Lautner, 38; and former officer Richard Thompson, 48. The city of Saginaw and the Police Officers Association of Michigan, or POAM, are named as defendants.
