Icewater Seafoods say they are confident that its employees have received their 2021 statutory holiday pay as laid out in their collective agreement.
Employees at the Arnold’s Cove plant demonstrated on Thursday to bring attention to their dispute over stat holiday pay, which is headed to arbitration.
The employer says the union has a different interpretation of the holiday clause in the collective agreement and they were surprised by the protest, just days after an arbiter was appointed to rule on the grievance.
Icewater Seafoods say they support the process and their employees’ right to demonstrate, and they are looking forward to conclusion of the dispute.
