U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren sent correspondence to the Department of Justice, requesting that the DOJ’s Antitrust Division open an investigation into apparent price fixing, wage fixing, and corporate consolidation by the poultry industry. Senator Warren references the uniform rise in poultry prices throughout the increasingly consolidated industry while poultry worker wages have remained flat in her request for further investigation into possible antitrust violations.
