The Executive Director of Trades NL expects an update on the situation at Bull Arm sometime today.

Union members met with DF Driver on Friday, and also sat down with Natural Resources Minister Siobhan Coady in recent days.

Building trades union members are frustrated with a lack of work at the site which they helped build, fueling protests at both Bull Arm and Confederation Building.

Trades NL Executive Director Darin King told VOCM Morning Show co-host Fred Hutton a number of major projects are winding down, and Bull Arm represents jobs. He says Muskrat Falls is winding down, with 600 people on site today, dwindling to 400 early in the new year while Husky will be down to 20 in the next few weeks.

King says people are hurting, but what’s happening at Bull Arm site represents another unique challenge for local workers.

He says the site was built by the building trades unions, which have also completed every project to-date on the site. He says workers are expressing “strong frustration” over concerns they may not get an opportunity for work at the site in future.

King says discussions have been positive and he sees “light at the end of the tunnel.”
