"Exposing Dangerous Conditions: AP's Report on India's Shrimp Industry"
An investigation by the Corporate Accountability Lab has revealed grueling and abusive working conditions in India's shrimp industry, the leading supplier of shrimp to the U.S. Workers, including women and widows, endure long hours, unsanitary conditions, and low pay while peeling shrimp for American consumers. The industry's rapid growth has led to environmental damage and widespread antibiotic use, impacting local communities. Major U.S. retailers and seafood distributors, such as Walmart and Sysco, have responded to the allegations by stating they will investigate and take corrective measures.
