A one-line docket entry in North Carolina federal court Thursday said the class had settled with Lowe's and its administrative committee in North Carolina federal court. But the workers' federal benefits law claims against plan manager Aon Hewitt Investment Consulting Inc. are still in play, and slated to go to trial in June.
