🔴PRICE SETTING TALKS CONTINUE WITH ASP AND GOV NL December 3, 2024FFAW-Unifor met yesterday with the Association of Seafood Producers (ASP) and Minsters Gerry Byrne and Lisa Dempster from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. Representing the FFAW were President Dwan Street, Executive Board members Jason Sullivan and Kevin Hardy, and legal counsel Kyle Rees. “I believe we had a productive conversation with ASP, who have committed to coming to the table in good faith. Both sides are dedicated to developing a fair pricing formula for the snow crab fishery, agreeing that last year’s model is a starting point with improvements needed, and both agree that there are significant risks associated with a complete return to a strike/lockout model,” says FFAW-Unifor President Dwan Street.Both parties also agree to defer any legislative changes to FICBA regarding the strike/lockout process, and government has agreed that nothing will move forward until both parties have an agreement. Additional updates will be provided when available. ... See MoreSee Less

2024 FFAW Constitutional Convention Video
The further corporatization of our province's fishery must end. Resource management decisions based on votes and international clout must be stopped. Our Liberal MPs have lost all sense of integrity and ethics. They have forgotten who elected them, and they fail to recognize the wake of destruction they will leave behind for our future generations. Music: Zach Bryan, Cold Damn Vampires
