   From September 2023 to December 2023, at least 24 Filipino fishermen were abandoned across 12 boats in Westport, Washington without adequate communication from their employers, US-based McAdams Fish and Philippines-based Pescadores recruiting agency, and were not legally allowed to leave the ships since they were not prepared with U.S. visas.

   The Fisherfolks were contracted with Pescadores, who promised a monthly salary and one-time cash advance for their families. Instead, the fisherfolk did not receive the salary and their families were not given the full advance. They were charged for food and supplies, including the gas, bait, and fishing equipment necessary to complete their jobs. The fishermen are in negative profit, thrown into debt by Pescadores.

   Six of the 24 fishermen who were abandoned in Westport, WA bravely chose to take action and fight against the illegal practices of McAdams Fish and Pescadores. US government agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security are conducting interviews to investigate their situation. The International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) has also opened an investigation. These fishermen named themselves the “United 6”.
