Chicken Class Action Settlement.. We're gonna be rich!

So this is pretty funny.  If you bought chicken in the last 10 years ago from pretty much any commerial chicken people you are part of a class action law suit.  We're talking possibly 10's of dollars here.  I thought it was pretty funny but what the heck right?  Pretty much everybody in Langlois has bought a foster farms chicken at some point.

End-User Consumer Plaintiffs allege that Defendants and their co-conspirators conspired to restrict the supply of, and fix, raise, and stabilize the price of chicken, as of January 1, 2009, in violation of federal and state consumer and antitrust laws.

The Defendants and co-conspirators are chicken processors in the United States. In the notice, “Settling Defendants” refers to Fieldale, George’s, Mar-Jac, Peco, Pilgrim’s, and Tyson. “Non-Settling Defendants” refers to Agri Stats, Inc., Claxton Poultry Farms, Inc.; Foster Farms, LLC and Foster Poultry Farms; Harrison Poultry, Inc., House of Raeford Farms, Inc.; JCG Foods of Alabama, LLC, JCG Foods of Georgia, LLC, Koch Foods, Inc. and Koch Meats Co., Inc.; Mountaire Farms, Inc., Mountaire Farms, LLC, and Mountaire Farms of Delaware, Inc.; Koch Foods, Inc., JCG Foods of Alabama, LLC, JCG Foods of Georgia, LLC, and Koch Meat Co., Inc.; O.K.

I hope you enjoy this movie that tells an important part of Oregon's history. by Matt Cook (like and subscribe as they say.. it's good stuff)
