Australian-sold tuna linked to Indonesian vessels with forced labor conditions, prompting calls for stricter seafood sourcing laws.
A new report by Greenpeace and the Uniting Church links some Australian-sold canned tuna to Indonesian fishing vessels where workers faced conditions akin to forced labor, including 18-hour shifts and up to 18 months at sea without port calls.
Based on interviews with 25 Indonesian fishermen and supply chain analysis, the report identifies 17 vessels with labor violations and traces them to suppliers used by brands like Sirena and Safcol, which deny the claims.
Advocacy groups urge Australia to enforce mandatory traceability, ban seafood tied to exploitation, and strengthen due diligence laws, highlighting systemic labor abuses in the global tuna supply chain despite industry safeguards.
