When I worked at Olin Chemical while I was in college a Mexican worker fell into a one million gallon acid vat used to make fertilizer. They didn't even look for the body. Would there even BE a body left in there?...Wow. Yea, but tastes like chicken. 
Chicken of the Sea? No, that's a different brand of tuna... |

In all seriousness, if that tuna company had simply followed OSHA rules regarding worker safety, than that person's death wouldn't have happened.

The state's occupational safety agency previously cited the San Diego-based company with violations
So previous citings didn't do anything it seems. I wonder if this will really change anything. Or if the story is just going to get the chickens to squawk for a while, calm down, and then business as usual. |

They couldn't have possibly thrown out 6 tons of tuna. They probably had us consume it. I eat that brand. 
Gives new meaning to Soylent Green. The funny thing is that the movie Soylent Green was about the oceans dying and the fish were extinct. Tuna is almost extinct now. Maybe fish flavored illegal aliens is the wave of the future!

As a native Alaskan friend once said..
"You've not had tuna, 'til you've had the toona from Hoona." |

I don't understand why there is no escape hatch or the door can't be opened from the inside. It isn't like the tuna are just playing possum and gonna sneak out the moment your back is turned.

Bumble Bee Foods and two of its managers were charged Monday in the 2012 death of an employee who became trapped inside an industrial oven at the company's Santa Fe Springs plant.
The company, along with Bumble Bee's former Safety Manager Saul Florez, of Whittier, and Director of Plant Operations Angel Rodriguez, of Riverside,were charged with three felony counts each of willfully violating Occupational Safety & Health Administration worker safety rules leading to the death of 62-year-old Jose Melena, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. Melena entered a 35-foot-long cylindrical oven, used to sterilize cans of tuna, as part of his job duties at Bumble Bee's Santa Fe Springs plant on Oct. 11, 2012, according to the release. Coworkers were unaware that Melena was inside the oven when they loaded multiple carts, collectively containing about 12,000 pounds of tuna, closed the front door and started the oven, according to the DA's office. During the two-hour heat sterilization process, the oven's internal temperature rose to about 270 degrees, prosecutors said. Melena's severely burned remains were discovered by a coworker. He had worked for the company for about six years. We take worker safety very seriously, District Attorney Jackie Lacey said. Although the Bumble Bee investigation began in 2012, this case represents our commitment to protecting workers from illegal and, potentially, deadly on-the-job practices. The defendants were expected to be arraigned on May 27. If convicted as charged, Florez and Rodriguez face a maximum sentence of three years in state prison and/or a $250,000 fine, the release stated. The San Diego-based Bumble Bee Foods faces a maximum fine of $1.5 million. http://ktla.com/2015/04/27/bumble-bee-foods-two-others-charged-in-death-of-employee-trapped-inside-industrial-oven/ |

$1.5 million fine? Seems that money should go to the deceased family and then some. Where does that fine money go to?
