AP finds grueling conditions in Indian shrimp industry that report calls 'dangerous and abusive'

India is the top supplier of shrimp to the U.S., with Indian shrimp stocked in freezers at most of the nation’s biggest grocery store and restaurant chains. The Associated Press traveled in February to southeast India to document working conditions in the booming industry after obtaining an advance copy of an investigation released Wednesday by the Chicago-based Corporate Accountability Lab. The human rights legal group found that workers face “dangerous and abusive conditions.” AP spoke to women who described working 10-hour days in difficult and unsanitary conditions, earning less than $4 a shift. Importers that responded to requests for comment from the AP said they would investigate, with some suspending business in the meantime.
