PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Providence workers are scheduled to return to court Monday morning.

Workers are suing to stop the city from switching health care providers.

The switch - set to take place on New Year's Day - has sparked much controversy and protests.

Officials say that switching from Blue Cross to United Healthcare of New England will save the city millions of dollars in health care contracts.
