Workers involved in a wage-fixing class-action lawsuit against major red meat processors now have until March 26, 2027, to file claims for a share of $202.8 million in settlements.
The case involves non-managerial employees at companies, including Cargill, JBS USA, Tyson Foods and others, accused of suppressing wages. Attorneys said the settlements also include agreements intended to stop practices tied to alleged wage coordination.
The final approval hearing is scheduled for Nov. 13, while deadlines for exclusions and objections run through Sept. 29. Eligible workers may still participate even if they did not receive notice.
Claims and eligibility information are available through the settlement website at beefporkwages.com.
