Sweet and Spicy: what's the buzz on honey infusions? | SaltWireThe fish plant workers of this province have been touted for having processed an amazingly large amount of crab in an amazingly short time. But what have we received for these efforts?
We have not received any compensation for the weeks we spent at home waiting for the crab fishermen to decide that they would accept the price that they had been given six weeks before. Instead, the government increased the divisor used to decide the amount of benefits that we would receive; therefore, my husband, for example, gets less in EI benefits this year, even though he worked more hours this year.Read moreWe, and yes, I work at a that crab plant too, spent countless hours, day after unending day, processing crab that should have been at the wharf weeks beforehand, and were told that we were expected to work 11 hour shifts.
I don't think that the little appreciation given will match the heroic efforts that were put forth this summer by all the seasonal fish plant workers in this province.SaltWire Network welcomes letters on matters of public interest for publication.
