Please join us online as Earle McCurdy presents a history of Fish, Food, and Allied Workers (FFAW-Unifor).
The historic sense of NL as a fishing society has been described as a focal point of our cultural identity. In the next Gilbert Higgins lecture for the Newfoundland and Labrador Historical Society, Earle McCurdy takes a look at a slice of our fishing history – the first 50 years of FFAW-Unifor, with a particular focus on the union’s early years and how it coped with the devastating impact of the northern cod moratorium.
