First Union Faces New Lawsuit
It seems that Charlotte, North Carolina-headquartered First Union can't stay out of the courts.

Now 18 current and former employees of the vendor are claiming that the firm was more interested profits than its employees when administering the plan. The Washington, D.C. law firm of Sprenger & Lang is representing both sets of plaintiffs...

For instance, the 401kWire has reported that Daily Access Concepts has introduced a recordkeeping application online. And now www.401ktalk.com, the brainchild of Judd/Roberts LLC, is offering education to participants in cyberspace...
