OVERHILL FARMS’ WORKERS FILE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT
CALL FOR NATIONAL BOYCOTT OF OVERHILL FARMS
What: Press Conference to announce that Overhill Farms’ workers will file a major class-action lawsuit against the publicly traded food manufacturing and processing company alleging discrimination and labor law violations, and will call for a national boycott against the company and its products, which are distributed to companies such as Jenny Craig, Panda Express, El Pollo Loco, American Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Sam’s Club, Costco, and others.
Where: 2727 E. Vernon Avenue, city of Vernon
When: Wednesday, July 1, 2009
Time: 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
More than 300 workers have been unjustly terminated by Overhill Farms over the past seven months due to alleged discrepancies of social security numbers and information. The employees have filed grievances against the company based on their collective bargaining agreement and expect a positive outcome from the eventual arbitration.
Overhill Farms employs 800 people. During the course of review of working conditions with those who were terminated it was discovered that the company has incurred in major labor law violations and discrimination and this is the basis of the class-action lawsuit. These conditions have led the workers to call for a national boycott of Overhill Farms and its products and will communicate the same to all current customers.
