Poor Pfizer. Several labor unions are suing them for allegedly marketing its Lipitor cholesterol drug outside approved uses, resulting in the unions making billions of dollars in overpayments for members' prescriptions.
Pfizer, the US's biggest drugmaker, called the accusations meritless and also said it is cooperating with a separate inquiry by the U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn, New York.
The Welfare Fund of Teamsters Local Union 863 filed its proposed class action suit in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey late on Monday. Several other employee health care funds in other states are expected to file similar suits on Tuesday, according to lawyers for the plaintiffs.

Pfizer has zero integrity and zero ethics beyond what does and what doesn't earn a profit.
That's it.
If it earns a profit it's obviously okay to do. - Pfizer
Those teamsters are just lazy union members trying to put the squeeze on a great American corporation. Pfizer is a hallmark of integrity and ethics.
