Suppression of Chicken Broiler Grower Compensation Antitrust Complaint

September 11, 2020

This antitrust class action brings suit on behalf of broiler chicken growers, against a number of companies under the names of Tyson, Pilgrim’s Pride, Perdue, Koch, and Sanderson Farms. The complaint alleges that these “vertically-integrated” companies, which operate broiler processing plants, engaged in anticompetitive behavior in the US domestic market to fix grower compensation “below competitive levels.”
