Smithfield brings civil action against union

18/10/2007
US meat processor and marketer Smithfield Foods, Inc. and Smithfield Packing Company have brought a civil action against the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union and their agents. Following two years of wrangling, the law suit alleges that the union carried out a public smear campaign against Smithfield as well as frivolous regulatory investigations, the communication of false statements to analysts intended to reduce Smithfield's stock price, unlawful interference with current and prospective business relations and a publicly established illegal extortionate pressure campaign intended to drive the company out of business unless it agreed to meet their demands against its will.
