📣 Happy Labour Day from FFAW-Unifor![]()

Labour Day belongs to working people—to those who fought for the rights and protections we have today and those who continue that fight.![]()
![]()
What began in 1969, when 69 people attended the first Union organizing meeting in Port au Choix, has grown into a Union representing more than 14,000 workers across Newfoundland and Labrador.![]()
![]()
Through decades of solidarity and collective action, members have won better wages and working conditions, fairer fish prices, collective bargaining rights, and a stronger voice in their workplaces and industries.![]()

Those achievements were not freely given. They were won by working people who organized, spoke out, walked picket lines, and refused to accept that things could not be better.![]()
![]()
That work continues. Whether on the water, in a processing plant, aboard a vessel, at an industrial site, in a hotel, behind a counter, or in any other workplace, every worker deserves fairness, dignity, respect, and a meaningful voice in the decisions affecting their livelihood.![]()
![]()
This Labour Day, we honour the generations of workers who came before us, celebrate the contributions of working people today, and recommit ourselves to the struggles still ahead.![]()
![]()
From all of us at FFAW-Unifor, have a safe and happy Labour Day weekend.
