India is the top supplier of shrimp to the U.S., with Indian shrimp stocked in freezers at most of the nation's biggest grocery store and restaurant chains.

The human rights legal group found that workers face "dangerous and abusive conditions."

The confidentiality agreements were aimed at allowing labor and industry groups to negotiate without fear of information shared being used against them.
