action_plan:

The Ship to Shore Rights SEA programme is in discussion with the Thai Frozen Foods Association (TFFA) and the Thai Tuna Industry Association (TTIA) on an implementation agreement to enhance implementation of the Seafood Good Labour Practice programme as a continuous Improvement programme. The proposal focuses on strengthening the credibility of factory visits in measuring compliance through engagement of civil society organizations, establishing an industry-level grievance mechanism and improving public reporting of GLP compliance to ensure accountability of member companies. It will also seek to expand the programme to cover additional factories. However, as the Seafood Good Labour practice programme prohibits sub-contracting of labour because of the risks of child/forced labour (particularly in peeling sheds), the focus will be on eliminating not incorporating sub-contracting practices. In addition, GLP cannot directly build on the work done by IOM with private companies because it is conducted under non-disclosure agreements.

3. Consider options for how to expand work with the industry association and employers to other parts of the supply chain including the smaller factories and the sub-contractors. This could include expanding the GLP to address these issues and building on the work IOM is doing on the issue.
