The topic came to a head earlier this week, when the Association of Seafood Producers called out intimidation and harassment levelled at fish harvesters who have expressed a willingness to fish for $2.20 a pound.įFAW president Greg Pretty has said multiple times crab fishermen would rather go bankrupt on the wharf than fish at such a low price, which he said would cause an economic disaster. Harvesters have stayed off the water three weeks into the province's most lucrative fishery, as they protest what they consider a catastrophic price of $2.20 per pound. Newfoundland and Labrador Fisheries Minister Derrick Bragg has urged the Fish, Food & Allied Workers union to hold a secret ballot vote asking snow crab harvesters if they are ready to fish at $2.20 per pound, according to a letter obtained by CBC News.
