Hormel Foods Corp. and two meat processing plants have agreed to a $13.5 million settlement in a Colorado wage-fixing suit, joining a host of companies that have reached deals to end claims that they colluded to depress wages.
In a joint notice of settlement filed Wednesday in Colorado federal court, attorneys for plant workers said the forthcoming agreement would resolve all claims against Hormel; one of its Illinois-based facilities, Rochelle Foods LLC; and a Minnesota-based processing plant, Quality Pork Processors Inc.
