As part of the agreement with the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office, Bumble Bee agrees to:

    pay $3 million to replace its outdated tuna ovens with new ones that don’t require workers to enter them
    pay $1.5 million in restitution to Melena’s family
    pay $750,000 to the DA’s Environmental Enforcement Fund
    pay $750,000 in combined fines, penalties and court costs
    implement safety measures such as installing video cameras in their ovens
    provide safety training to managers and workers, and
    conduct safety audits of equipment.

If Bumble Bee complies with all the terms, it can plead guilty to one misdemeanor count in 18 months.

Safety Manager Saul Florez pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years of formal probation and 30 days of community labor. Florez will also pay $19,000 in fines and be required to take work-safety classes.

Plant Operations Director Angel Rodriguez agreed to do 320 hours of community service, pay $11,400 in fines and take work-safety classes.

Both men can plead guilty to one misdemeanor charge after 18 months if they fulfill the terms of their agreement with the DA’s office.

Florez and Rodriguez must make public statements admitting their guilt.

Bumble Bee, Florez and Rodriguez had all been charged with three felony counts each of an OSHA violation causing death. The two men had faced a maximum sentence of three years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Bumble Bee’s fine alone could have reached $1.5 million.
