Record Breaking Settlement Involving Workplace Safety
Bumble Bee Foods LLC will pay $6,000,000 to settle criminal charges for a 2012 death of an employee in their Santa Fe Springs, California plant.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said in a press release Wednesday that the settlement was “the largest-known disbursement in a California criminal prosecution of workplace safety violations involving a single victim.”
