NL NDP Issues Support for NL Harvesters
September 11, 2025

FFAW-Unifor would like to thank NL NDP leader Jim Dinn for his strong support in standing up for Newfoundland and Labrador’s sea cucumber harvesters.

Mr. Dinn, we truly appreciate your leadership in calling out the practices of companies like Royal Greenland and your push for the provincial government to do the same, alongside a full investigation into potential collusion and stronger conditions of processing licences.  

Thank you for standing with the harvesters, workers, and communities of Newfoundland and Labrador. We look forward to continuing this fight together!
