On Wednesday, Judge Stephanie Gallagher of the Maryland District Court denied four motions to dismiss filed by poultry companies in a class-action antitrust lawsuit, ruling that the Second Amended Complaint filed by employees who worked with the poultry companies should continue to be heard in the court.
The employees filed an opposition to all four of the motions, which the defendants later replied to. The plaintiffs, including five named individuals and a putative class of former and current employees at poultry processing companies, argued in their second amended complaint that the defendants violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act by engaging in a conspiracy to “fix and depress poultry workers’ compensation” and exchanged data about the compensation illegally. –
