A press release issued by the Department of Justice in regards to a settlement by Nebraska Beef has led to further conflict between the two. Nebraska Beef is objecting to the wording in the release, which described a settlement between the company and the Department over alleged hiring practices.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that Nebraska Beef is refusing to comply with the settlement, which includes a $200,000 civil penalty, because of the wording of the press release. Nebraska Beef says the phrasing in the federal agency’s press release “breached the settlement agreement by phrasing a press release differently from the language in the settlement agreement’s preface.”
