Lock out. Tag out.

It’s not just a good idea.

Only $1.5 million. You would have thought they would have at least thrown in a lifetime supply of tuna.

His family will get $1.5 million of the $6 million settlement payout.

This was the first item that caught my attention. OK, where did the other $4.5 million go?

Bumble Bee will also be required to spend $3 million to replace the outdated tuna ovens

OK, understandable.

The company will also pay $750,000 in fees, penalties and court costs

Do these court costs include paying the family's lawyers or does their pay come out of the family's $1.5 million share of the settlement?

The DA’s Environmental Enforcement Fund will get $750,000 for the investigation and prosecution of Occupational Safety and Health Administration criminal cases and for improving enforcement related rules.

Huh? Wouldn't this be part of the $750,000 in fees and penalties already assessed?

Well, that’s only one brand. I never bought it before, and I don’t plan to start now.

Lock out, tag out is a standard practice in the food industry. What else is Bumble Bee skipping in their processes? Hiring illegal workers?

What a horrific way to be killed. 1.5 million not enough.

Saul Florez, guilty of violating safty rules, must pay $19,000.00. Where is he going to get that kind of money?
I guess Florez will be paying for the rest of his life, with interest accrued on the balance, most likely compounded quarterly.
