Newfoundland and Labrador's fisheries union is calling on the province to open the lobster fishery to out-of-province buyers.
The Fish Food and Allied Workers Union said its necessary to counter buyers in the province who aren't buying in a dispute over lobster prices.
The Union said it has been advised by George Joyce, Executive Director of the Seafood Producers of Newfoundland and Labrador (SPONL) that a number of companies met in Gander last week and made a decision to cease buying lobster.
"They're showing total disrespect for the legislation that the legislature put in place to deal with fishery collective bargaining and, quite frankly, if that's the case, I think they should be told that their closed shop is gone," said union president Earle McCurdy.
