Who may qualify?
You worked in hourly, non-supervisory roles (e.g., line worker, cutter, packer) at a poultry processing plant, turkey plant, hatchery, or feed mill owned by one of the major poultry companies anywhere in the U.S. between Jan 1, 2000 – July 20, 2021.

- You worked in the United States at any time between January 1, 2000 and July 20, 2021, and
- You were employed by one of the Defendant poultry companies (see full employer list below), and
- You worked in a non-supervisory job at a Poultry processing plant, Poultry hatchery, or Poultry feed mill.

Examples of eligible roles include:

  • line workers,

  • cutters,

  • deboners,

  • packers,

  • sanitation workers,

  • hatchery staff,

  • feed mill operators,

  • truck drivers in live operations,

  • warehouse/freezer workers, and other hourly poultry plant jobs

  • Facility leadership: complex managers and plant managers.

  • HR & clerical: HR managers, HR staff, and office clerical staff.

Payouts: Pro-rata based on verified work history, duration, and earnings. Actual amounts depend on the number of valid claims filed.

What is the lawsuit about:

The class action lawsuit claims that major poultry companies worked together in ways that kept wages down. Instead of competing fairly for workers, the companies shared pay and benefits information with each other. Workers say this stopped wages from rising the way they should have.

The companies deny doing anything wrong. However, settlements have been approved in federal court, and money has been set aside to pay workers.
