Federal Lawsuit Alleges Collusion in Suppressing Veterinary Intern Wages Through Placement Program

A recent federal class action lawsuit has emerged, targeting the American Association of Veterinary Clinicians. The case, filed this month, challenges the compensation structure for veterinary interns participating in a placement program, accusing the association of suppressing wages in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Allegedly, the conspiracy with universities and animal hospitals results in wages approximately 60% below those offered by private hospitals, thereby adversely affecting the earning potential of these interns. For more details, the case can be explored through the complaint document. Further information can be accessed on the Corporate Counsel website.
