The US government and major business leaders are renewing their call on the Thai government to crack down on slavery in its fishing fleets, and to punish people who force migrant workers to catch seafood that can end up in the United States. The State Department, the US seafood and retail industries and a member of Congress reacted...to an Associated Press investigation..."It has become increasingly clear that workers in the fishing industry, many of whom are migrants, are exploited at multiple points along the supply chain, from harvesting to processing," US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said...The State Department blacklisted Thailand last year for failing to meet minimum standards in fighting human trafficking.
