“The sausage market is increasingly competitive, and inappropriate use of confidential, unique, Ministry of Trade information, or unlawful competition or solicitations can cause manufacturers to have a major competitive economic disadvantage,” the lawsuit reads.

Hormel also accused another former employee of trying to lure other Homer employees to Johnsonville, changing their duties and violating the unclaimed agreement.

Homer, who claims that Johnsonville did not cooperate when he sent a letter outlining the “illegal conduct” of the two former employees, seeks the return and deletion of sensitive data, as well as unspecified financial damages.
