Forced Labor in the Fishing Industry
Ian Urbina of the New York Times , who previously did a series on ‘The Outlaw Ocean,” has been working on a new series on forced labor on the high seas.
Last week, a group of consumers filed a class-action lawsuit in California against Mars, accusing the company, among the biggest producers of seafood-based pet food in the world, of failing to disclose its dependence on forced labor. A similar lawsuit was filed in late August against Nestlé, also a major producer of seafood-based pet food.
Legislators are considering legislation on forced labor on the seas.
