received money from clipper seafoods and freezer longline coalition.
clipper exploited workers by sending 2 full shifts of crew home and forcing the one crew to work 24-27 hours each day for over 2weeks while giving them 3-4 hours of sleep and one lunch break after 12-16 hours,which they deducted $25 PER DAY for.
the company owner only paid 30% of the money generated and paid the % share to crew as if 3 full shifts were on board.
the freezer longline coalition whose founding member is also the owner of clipper seafood (david little) has members who kill all thier bycatch and cheat thier workers out of 70% of the pounds of king crab harvested.(cape romanzof fishing) .

From our correspondent
SAN JUAN, May 20 – This evening, there was a picket of several hundred students of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) and workers from a number of sectors, including port workers, university professors and many others. The picket was held in front of a fancy fundraising dinner for businessmen where Governor Luis Fortuño was to give a speech.
When several dozen students entered the luxurious restaurant of the Sheraton Hotel in the Convention Center where the event was being held and tried to go up to where the privatizing, anti-worker governor was scheduled to speak, the notorious Fuerza de Choque (Shock Force) riot squad of the Puerto Rican Police poured in and savagely beat the students, spraying pepper gas in their faces and in some cases directly into their eyes.
