By Alex Kennedy CA Source: CBC News 3/23/2024

The head of the association that represents seafood producers in Newfoundland and Labrador says protests this week at Confederation Building send the wrong message to the marketplace.

Fish harvesters gathered in protest at Confederation Building from Wednesday to Friday this week,Loder said he believes many in the industry use the start of an upcoming season as a chance to get more of what they want by taking advantage of the price negotiation process.
