IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTWell, isn't that special? 3M is suing 3M. (begin sarcasm) I'm so glad (end sarcasm). Why are they telling me? Because at one time, under the auspices of my retirement fund, I must have owned some 3M stock. I may still. I don't know. I look at the annual results, and, well, this year they were pretty terrible, but that's another kettle of fish. Let's get back to this important message.
blah, blah, blah
INSULATORS AND ASBESTOS WORKERS ... on Behalf of 3M COMPANY,
Plaintiff,
v.
(A list of 14 people's names)
Defendants,
and
3M COMPANY, a Delaware Corporation,)
Nominal Defendent.
It was only one sheet of paper, printed on both sides, so for a legal document it was pretty short. Near as I can make out the plaintiff (the 3M pension Fund) was objecting to the way executive bonuses were being calculated. Something about taxes. The suit is being dismissed with prejudice (meaning they can't refile the same suit), but the defendents will pay the plaintiff's lawyers $600,000. Well, good, the guys in suits will get enough to cover their green fees for the coming year. Oops, sorry, more sarcasm slipping in.
I am almost tempted to look into this a little more, but it would probably just make me angry, and what could I do about it? I think I'll be better off if I just go fix myself a nice cup of tea and not worry about the guys in suits. What a waste of paper.
