Corporations should compete with each other, not coordinate at the expense of consumers.
Wondering why the prices of chicken, pork, and turkey meat have been high? Collusion.
It turns out that a company called Agri Stats, Inc. has been sharing anticompetitive information with meat processors. This sensitive data was then used by the processor companies to coordinate increased prices and reduced output.
This kind of anticompetitive behavior directly harms consumers in California and across the country, which is why Rob joined the U.S. Department of Justice in a lawsuit against Agri Stats.
Agriculture markets are a lifeblood of the California economy, and the cost of putting dinner on the table matters to every family in this state. In a fair economy, companies would compete with each other, not collude to increase their profits at the expense of consumers.
This lawsuit is another in a long list of actions Rob has taken to protect California consumers from getting ripped off by corporations, and it won’t be the last.
