$202.7M in Settlements for Beef and Pork Processing Plant Workers
Settlements total $202.7 million for workers alleging wage-fixing by beef and pork companies, with payments covering individuals, legal fees, and administration costs.
- A $202.7 million settlement was announced around March 19, 2026, in a lawsuit against major beef and pork companies addressing alleged wage suppression in the United States.
- Plaintiffs allege that beef and pork companies conspired to keep wages artificially low, but Defendants deny these claims and settled to avoid further costs and risks.
- The main Class includes individuals who worked at processing plants between January 1, 2014, and February 27, 2024, while a Subclass covers workers in the same period, the lawsuit claims.
- Eligible workers must update their earnings information at www.BeefPorkWages.com by February 4, 2027, and those wishing to opt out or object must act by August 10, 2026.
- Before final approval, the court will review requests for attorney fees up to $67,559,910 and other costs at the hearing scheduled for October 2, 2026.
