Group Grievance Filed Against Quin-Sea Fisheries for Falsifying Dates on Lobster Receipts

Date: August 5, 2024

FFAW-Unifor has filed a group grievance against Quin-Sea Fisheries for back-dating lobster receipts so harvesters would not receive price increases in the latter part of the season. If your lobster receipt was dated for the week prior to when you sold, please contact your member representative to be included in this group grievance.
