Haiming Labour Camp Site Factory Row

So it's a dispute over compensation and nothing to do with the sausage factory...
"Outrage has erupted over plans to build a sausage and bacon factory on the site a former Nazi forced labour camp in Austria.
The 25-acre site in Haiming, 28 miles west of Innsbruck, housed hundreds of prisoners during World War II who were put to work building a dam for a hydro-electric power plant.
The camp was demolished after the war, and the plot was unused by power company Tiwag until it was acquired by one of Austria's largest bacon and sausage producers, Handl Tyrol.

Protests by heirs of former landowners have broken out, after they claimed that they were forced to sell the land at low rates by the Nazis.
A commission after the war found that the land was lawfully obtained by Tiwag's predecessor company, according to The Times.
It said that the company obtained the site 'in general interest' and that the heirs to the landowners should not receive compensation.
Handl Tyrol says that the dispute only involved Tiwag and the claimants, adding that it is now the legal owner and plans to build a factory would not be delayed during the row."

In America, they would file a class action lawsuit. Their attorneys would settle and get a crap load of money, while the families would get each get a coupon for $20 worth of bacon or sausages.

Hey, at least they'd get something.
