📣 Update for Members: Injunction, Crab & Lobster
April 10, 2026
We are receiving messages from members asking about today’s injunction. This is not a criminal manner and is a piece of the ongoing disagreement for the 2026 season. We have been clear that official messaging and updates come from official FFAW channels only. The matter is set to be heard by the Labour Relations Board later in the month.
Threats of violence, intimidation or harm toward our members are not condoned by the Union. Officers of the Union also have a responsibility to know while things may be personal opinion they are seen as Union representatives and are to conduct themselves as such, no matter the legislated system of collective bargaining in place.
Crab:
The committee has been meeting over the last two days and evenings to continue working on a way forward that addresses the dissatisfaction harvesters and plantworkers have with the price structure that is currently in place.
We understand the pressure and frustration as weather improves and vessels leave port, but we ask for patience as we work on improvements to benefit all.
Lobster:
Negotiations have concluded and submissions have been made that will be heard in front of the Panel on Monday. We thank the committee for their hard work and time.
