WASHINGTON (June 12, 2026) <\/strong>\u2014A California federal judge today conclusively denied the Bumble Bee tuna company\u2019s request that the court reconsider its decision to allow a human trafficking case brought by Indonesian fishers to proceed. The court strongly rejected Bumble Bee\u2019s argument that a federal anti-trafficking statute did not apply extraterritorially, finding that Congress had provided \u201ca \u2018clear, affirmative indication\u201d that Plaintiffs\u2019 claims under the Trafficking Victims\u2019 Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) could proceed even though they arose outside the United States. The case remains one of only a few TVPRA supply chain cases to advance beyond the motion-to-dismiss stage.<\/p>\n\n

Syafi\u2019i, a plaintiff in the case, said in November, after Bumble Bee\u2019s first attempt to dismiss the case was denied:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m actually in tears. I am happy and overwhelmed. This gives me hope for justice for me and my fellow plaintiffs as we struggle for justice and change for the better. Our fight and sacrifice are not in vain in order to get justice for all of the fishers. I remain steadfast, strong, and enthusiastic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

In the complaint filed against Bumble Bee in March 2025, the fishers allege<\/a> they were subjected to forced labor while working aboard vessels linked to Bumble Bee\u2019s “trusted network\u201d of suppliers. The alleged abuses included physical violence, emotional abuse, untreated life-threatening and deformity-causing injuries, debt bondage, excessive working hours, withheld pay, and financial threats against family members to prevent them from escaping. <\/p>\n\n

In a filing earlier this week, Bumble Bee denied both knowledge of forced labor issues in distant water fishing, an issue well-documented for over a decade, and \u2014 incredibly \u2014 suggested that the plaintiffs\u2019 injuries were \u201cactually\u201d caused by the plaintiffs\u2019 \u201cown conduct.\u201d Bumble Bee also claimed that the plaintiffs\u2019 injuries were \u201cspeculative\u201d and that any remedies provided to them \u2014 men who worked and suffered for months at sea\u2013would be an unjust \u201cwindfall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Sari Heidenreich, Senior Human Rights Advisor, Global Fisheries, Greenpeace USA, said:<\/strong> \u201cThese men have lived with the consequences of the abuse they suffered every day since they worked on ships they say were part of Bumble Bee\u2019s \u2018trusted network\u2019 of suppliers. The content of Bumble Bee\u2019s recent filing, arguing that the men did not endure forced labor and caused their own injuries, shows just how far this company is willing to go to avoid accountability. Today\u2019s ruling ensures these fishers can continue their pursuit of justice.”<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe allegations in this case are serious, and they are not going away. Bumble Bee must answer for its role in a supply chain where forced labor and horrific abuse are endemic.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

In November, the court denied Bumble Bee\u2019s initial motion to dismiss, allowing the case to proceed. Bumble Bee subsequently asked the court to reconsider that decision and, alternatively, to permit an immediate appeal to a higher court. Today, Chief Judge Cynthia Bashant denied both requests, finding that the plaintiffs have alleged sufficient facts for the case to proceed. The ruling strongly affirms that the TVPRA, the primary U.S. law used to combat human trafficking, applies to abuses that occur outside the United States, including aboard the fishing vessels on which the plaintiffs worked.<\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace USA activists gathered outside the courthouse last week<\/a> in solidarity with the plaintiffs and the estimated 128,000 fishers trapped in forced labor worldwide<\/a> as the judge met with both parties to consider the motion. Signs featuring plaintiffs\u2019 allegations and calls for accountability highlighted the human cost of labor abuses in global seafood supply chains, as Agnieszka Fryszman of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, the plaintiffs\u2019 lead attorney, argued the issues in court. <\/p>\n\n

Heidenreich continued: <\/strong>\u201cBumble Bee and the rest of Big Seafood know how to address the risk of abuse in their supply chains: guarantee access to communication, limit time at sea, and strengthen transparency and oversight. The allegations in this case are a stark reminder of why those safeguards are necessary and what can happen when workers are isolated at sea without them. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe tide is turning. Worker protections are not optional, and companies can no longer treat them as an afterthought. A seafood industry free from forced labor is not only possible \u2014 it is the standard workers, communities, and consumers expect.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

The continued progress of the case reflects a broader shift toward greater accountability for labor abuses in seafood supply chains. Recent developments include criminal charges in Taiwan against a vessel captain and others for the death and trafficking of workers<\/a>, and a civil case challenging government-backed discrimination<\/a> in the fisheries industry. <\/p>\n\n

The Greenpeace network\u2019s Beyond Seafood Campaign has called for concerted action by all stakeholders and governments across the seafood supply chain to end isolation at sea<\/a>, a key factor enabling labor abuse and overexploitation of the oceans. Investigations and supply chain research from Greenpeace fisheries campaigns were used by the litigants\u2019 attorneys to support this complaint.<\/p>\n\n

The lawsuit, <\/em>Akhmad v. Bumble Bee Foods LLC, No. 3:25-cv-00583<\/em><\/a>, filed in March 2025 in U.S. federal court in San Diego, California, is currently before Chief Judge Cynthia Bashant. The law firms of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC and Schonbrun Seplow Harris Hoffman & Zeldes LLP are leading the representation of the plaintiffs in the suit. <\/em><\/p>\n\n
