The FFAW is fed up with attempts by processors to strong-arm the inshore fishery.

President Keith Sullivan didn’t mince any words in his assessment of an incident last week that saw processors refusing to buy cod, even though plant workers didn’t have enough work.

He calls it an illegal lock-out, with corporations exerting pressure even on plants that wanted to buy.

CEO of Ocean Choice International, Martin Sullivan this week expressed disappointment with what he called “so many falsehoods” targeting his company and employees.

Keith Sullivan of the fisheries union says actions speak louder than words.

He says they talk about respect, but their actions are much different.
