MADISON, Wis.—The Milwaukee teachers union has dropped a lawsuit seeking to get its taxpayer-funded Viagra back.
The union sued in July 2010 to force the school board to again include the erectile dysfunction drug and similar pills in its health insurance plans.
The union has argued the board’s policy of excluding such drugs from the plans discriminates against male employees; the board has countered the 2005 move was meant to save money.
Court records indicate attorneys for the union, the school board and the state Labor and Industry Review Commission agreed to dismiss the lawsuit on March 1. Messages for all three groups’ attorneys weren’t immediately returned.
