In India, crushing U.S. tariffs on the shrimp export industry has reduced orders and job opportunities, giving employers more leverage.
Pushed to work at least 12 hours a day for the same pay with no health insurance, provident fund, or bonuses, workers had only two choices – quit or comply.

I think it was me, personally, and my powerful posting that caused Shane Jones to tremble and back down. 😂
Still, the bill is a disaster and should be entirely rejected.

@theguardian_us_environment "The goal of Sea Shepherd’s latest campaign is to stop all krill fishing in the Antarctic... the industry’s expansion is outpacing the time needed to gather information to assess consequences of the trade... risks irreversible damage."

What is all the outrage about the fisheries amendment bill? How much of a betrayal to people, planet and oceans are we talking about? Is Shane Jones really just a mouthpiece for industrial fishing companies? Will National ever grow a spine?
Read all about it in this blog post from #greenpeace.
Sold to the highest trawler: Shane Jones hands NZ oceans over to Big Fish – National silent

Sweeping amendments proposed under the Fisheries Amendment Bill sign the ocean over to corporate fishing companies, incentivising trawling, and silencing New Zealanders right to have a say. But perhaps someone should remind National that their voters don’t support ocean destruction.
The recreational fishers are also (rightly) pretty upset by the outrageous fisheries amendment bill from Jones and the industry that he serves.

Call your MP today! (especially if they're National) let them know that this bill shall not pass.
