Gladstein, Reif & Meginniss LLP attorney Katherine Hansen, representing 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, urged a New York federal judge to reject an attempt by Alaris Health at Hamilton Park and Confidence Management Systems to vacate a nearly $866,000 judgment in a wage dispute.
In its filing, the union argued that the companies offered no valid excuse for failing to pay workers, pointing out that they were aware of the litigation but waited months after judgment was entered before taking action. The filing emphasized that further delay could deprive health care workers of long-overdue compensation and warned that vacating the judgment might allow the employers to avoid liability entirely. The union also asked the court to award attorney fees and costs for having to oppose the motion.
The case is 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East v. Alaris Health at Hamilton Park et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00531, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
