A new Mountaire Farms Inc. could emerge as a branded Eastern Shore poultry label with new labor standards after a major expansion and legal wranglings over compensation for line workers in processing plants, reports Delmarva Now.
News last week that Mountaire had a purchase agreement to buy most assets of local competitor Allen Family Foods Inc. of Seaford, Del., coincided with key developments in separate employee lawsuits filed against Mountaire in federal court and a state court in North Carolina.
