Five retired Major League Baseball umpires, including veteran Joe West, have filed a lawsuit against the MLB benefit plan claiming they are owed additional money, according to an Associated Press report published Thursday.
The suit was filed on behalf of the group of retired umpires, with West being the most prominent name among them. The plaintiffs allege the benefit plan has not paid them the full amounts due under their agreements.
No further details about the specific amounts or the legal arguments were immediately available. The MLB benefit plan administrators have not yet commented on the litigation.
