(KAIR)--More plaintiffs join a lawsuit filed against an area pork processing company.
According to a press release issued by the Montee Law Firm, of Saint Joseph, Missouri, seven more plaintiffs have joined the lawsuit against the Saint Joseph Company.
The lawsuit alleges that Triumph Foods retaliated against injured employees by terminating their employment.
The release states that Buchanan County Judge Daniel Kellogg Wednesday granted a motion allowing the addition of the new plaintiffs, which brings the total number to ten.
In a statement released by Triumph Foods, the company strongly denies the allegations and “look forward to presenting our case in the court of law.” The company states the safety and well-being of employees is the number one priority, and was “surprised and disappointed to learn of the lawsuit.”
According to KQ2-TV, the lawsuit is seeking more than $25,000 for each plaintiff.
